1938 Map of Monegaw Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Monegaw Springs and the surrounding river bluffs are detailed in this 1938 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its rural community institutions and the winding Osage River. The area is densely packed with local landmarks that served the dispersed agricultural population, including the Motley Sch near Motley Cem and the Chalk Level Sch serving the northern settlement of Chalk Level. Geologically, the map captures the transition from the high ridges of the Monegaw and Chalk Level townships down to the river bottoms, with numerous named drainages like Gallinipper Creek and Little Monegaw Creek cutting through the terrain. Notable local history points include the Youngers Lookout high above the river bend and Magnolia Spring near the eastern hills. This record preserves the location of several country churches and schools, such as Kidda Chapel and Red Rock Sch, which formed the social fabric of St. Clair County before modern consolidation.
