About this map

Arnold and its neighboring Jefferson County communities are defined by a complex landscape of creek valleys and ridges south of the Meramec River. This 2017 survey details the suburban expansion around Maxville and Beck, where modern residential developments like Paulina Hills and Spring Forest are interspersed with older landmarks. The rugged topography is etched by numerous waterways, including Romaine Cr and Rock Cr, which feed into local catchments like Butler Lakes and the Lou-Del-Lan Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several points of interest, from the Saint Johns Cem in the west to the Richardson Cem further east. The map records the varied elevation of the region, from the lowlands near Byers to the high ground of Frisco Hill. The density of named roads such as Romaine Creek Rd and Dutch Bottom Rd illustrates how the historical township structure of T43N and T42N has transitioned into a modern corridor of the St. Louis metropolitan fringe.
