1969 Map of Moselle

About this map

The Bourbeuse River and Meramec River converge in this section of Franklin County, framing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deep creek valleys. The western edge is anchored by the growing community of Union, while Moselle sits to the southeast near the river bend. Between them, the land is marked by small rural nodes like Gildehouse and Villa Ridge, alongside evidence of the region’s mid-century infrastructure including a sewage disposal pond, a gaging station, and the St Clair Municipal Airport. The industrial and transport history is visible through the paths of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the St Louis-San Francisco railroads. Local genealogy is well-documented with landmarks like Bethlehem Ch, Pleasant Hill Cem, and the family-named Cheatham Cem.
