About this map

The Mississippi River and Meramec River converge in this riverine landscape, defining a region where suburban development meets complex waterway geography. Residential clusters like Oakville and Mattese sit on the bluffs above the river bottoms, while the historic Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery occupies the northern edge of the sheet. The transportation network is anchored by the Jefferson Barracks Bridge and dual rail lines, the Missouri Pacific RR and Rock Island RR, which follow the contours of the river valleys.

Southward, the terrain becomes increasingly dictated by the floodplains and islands of the Mississippi, featuring Chesley Island and the mouth of Pomme Creek near Flamm City. Local landmarks such as Cliff Cave and the South County Post Office provide specific points of interest for researchers mapping the contemporary layout of Saint Louis County. Small settlements and crossings like Wickes, Warnock, and Kise Crossing dot the eastern and southern reaches, illustrating the legacy of the area's older rail and river economy.
