1954 Map of O'Fallon

About this map

O'Fallon and St Peters anchor this 1954 landscape, which preserves the mid-century transition of St. Charles County as urban expansion began to ripple westward. The corridor of the Norfolk and Western railroad and the newly appearing Interstate 70 trace the path of rapid development, yet the map remains deeply rooted in its rural origins. Significant local history is represented by the St Marys College campus and the grounds of Fort Zumwalt State Park. To the north, the terrain flattens into the floodplain of Peruque Creek, where numerous levee systems protect agricultural tracts and bodies of water like Lharky Lake and Pallardy Lake. Genealogists will find interest in several established sites including Assumption Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and the Dardenne Ch, which served the scattered farming communities across the Dardenne and Cuivre districts.
