About this map

The Mississippi River and Meramec River converge in this riverine corridor, where the suburban development of Oakville meets the fertile lowlands of the American Bottoms. In this 2017 study, the landscape is defined by its transition from the elevated residential neighborhoods in Missouri to the industrial and agricultural floodplains of Illinois. The Missouri Pacific RR tracks parallel the western bank of the Mississippi, serving historic riverfront settlements like Flamm City and Wickes.

Genealogists can identify localized landmarks such as Saint Pauls Cem and Saint Josephs Cem, while the Jefferson Barracks Bridge provides a primary transit link across the state line. Natural features like Cliff Cave and the large Chesley Island remain prominent along the river's course, while smaller waterways such as Mattese Cr and Pomme Cr drain the increasingly developed interior of Saint Louis County.
