About this map

The Mississippi River forms a massive natural corridor between Missouri and Illinois on this 2015 study, with the Meramec River joining it from the west. This confluence defines the regional geography, separating the suburban developments of Oakville and Mehlville from the low-lying American Bottoms on the eastern shore. The landscape is a mix of dense residential networks and significant industrial transit, exemplified by the Missouri Pacific RR and the Jefferson Barracks Bridge.

Genealogists will find interest in several established grounds including New Saint Johns Cemetery and Saint Pauls Cemetery in the north, and Saint Josephs Cemetery near Imperial. Notable landmarks like Cliff Cave along the river bluffs and Chesley Island provide specific points for historical tracing. Further south, smaller communities such as White House, Flamm City, and Wickes sit near the river junction, maintaining their identities amidst the larger suburban expanse of Saint Louis County.
