About this map

Belleville and O'Fallon anchor this post-war landscape in St. Clair County, showing the rapid expansion of urban residential areas and military infrastructure. The map documents the sprawling presence of Scott Air Force Base in the southeast, while the legacy of the regional coal industry remains visible through the St Louis and O'Fallon Mine and scattered Mine Dumps.

Transit corridors like the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Southern line connect historic clusters such as Carbon, Petersburg, and Shiloh. Local community life is centered around institutions like St Johns Orphanage and a network of rural schools including Milburn Sch and Wolf Branch Sch. The terrain is defined by the Caseyville and Shiloh Valley regions, where small waterways like Engle Creek and Prairie Du Long Creek wind between growing housing developments and established cemeteries like Lakeview Memorial Gardens Cem.
