About this map

The Little Meramec River and its various tributaries, including Pierce Creek and Johnson Branch, carve through this section of Jefferson County, defining the local settlement patterns. Small communities and unincorporated areas such as Lonedell, Luebbering, and Grubville are connected by a network of winding county roads like Finney Rd and Willowford Rd. The landscape is a mix of small-scale agriculture and water management, evidenced by the Al Swantner Reservoir and Williams Lake.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate established sites of historical interest, such as Finney Cemetery and Woodcock Cemetery. ThePresence of industrial and utility landmarks, including Waits Sawmill on the Meramec River and the Lonedell Lookout Tower, provide tangible links to the timber and forestry management history of the region. From the northern gulches like Cedar Gulch to the southern reaches of Kruze Creek, the map provides a look at the rural character of Missouri in the early 21st century.
