About this map

Monegaw Springs and the small settlement of Chalk Level anchor this section of St. Clair County, where the southern landscape is defined by the winding course of the Osage River. This area is characterized by its numerous small tributaries and complex drainage systems, including Little Monegaw Cr, Salt Cr, and Gallinipper Cr, which feed into the primary river valley. The topography rises into prominent local landmarks such as Kibbie Hill, Clubhouse Hill, and Reader Hill, offering a clear view of the transition from upland ridges to the river bottoms.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is a significant record of rural family sites and early burial grounds. It identifies six distinct cemeteries, including Benton Green Cemetery, Terry Cemetery, Yeater Cemetery, Motley Cemetery, Thomas Cemetery, and Parks Cemetery, distributed across the townships. The presence of Spring Lake and the various creeks highlights the historical importance of water access for these remote Missouri communities.
