1991 Map of Monegaw Springs

About this map

Monegaw Springs and the village of Chalk Level anchor this landscape along the winding course of the Osage River during the late 20th century. The area is characterized by a high concentration of family cemeteries and rural parishes, including Motley Cem, Benton Green Cem, and Kidds Chapel, reflecting deep-seated ancestral roots in St. Clair County. The topography is defined by notable elevations such as Kibbe Hill and Youngers Lookout, which overlook the complex hydrology of Little Monegaw Creek and Gallinipper Creek. Extensive conservation efforts are evident in the sprawling Sac Osage State Wildlife Area and Salt Creek State Wildlife Area, which dominate the river valley. Traces of local infrastructure, from a prominent Pipeline to the various sections of Roscoe and Center, illustrate the blend of agrarian tradition and modern land management in this Missouri riverine environment.
