About this map

New Melle and its surrounding communities sit within a landscape defined by the winding paths of Dardenne Creek to the north and Femme Osage Creek to the south. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition of Saint Charles County into a region of private lakes and residential developments. Significant water bodies such as Lake Sherwood, Lake Eleanor, and Sugar Hollow Lake dominate the western portion of the map, representing a shift in land use toward recreation and community planning.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of Friedens Cemetery and Saint Pauls Cemetery on the eastern edge of New Melle. Smaller settlements like Cappeln and Femme Osage provide historical anchors along the rural road network, which includes established routes like Foristell Rd and Highway Z. The map also captures numerous smaller tributaries such as Callaway Fork and Becker Branch, highlighting the intricate drainage system feeding into the larger Missouri River watershed.
