About this map

The Meramec River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, carving a distinct border between the suburban development of the north and the wooded research and conservation areas to the south. In this 2012 snapshot, the rapid growth of communities like Ballwin, Ellisville, and Manchester is evident in the dense network of residential streets and shopping centers, including The Lamp and Lantern Village. This modern infrastructure contrasts sharply with the nearby Washington University Tyson Research Center and the hollows that descend toward the riverbank.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites and smaller named locales such as Jedburgh, Sherman, and Glencoe along the river's edge. The map documents several burial grounds, including Saint Johns Cemetery and Peterson Cemetery, which remain preserved amidst the expanding residential tracts. To the south, the topography rises toward Pettys Hill, overlooking the Lone Elk Reservoir and the industrial footprints of the Onyx Oak Ridge Landfill and Peerless Park Landfill.
