2021 Map of Oakville

About this map

Oakville sits at the confluence of major waterways and transport corridors where the Meramec River joins the Mississippi River. This landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, from the bluffs near Cliff Cave to the broad alluvial plain of the American Bottoms across the state line in Illinois. The map captures a sophisticated suburban and industrial network where Interstate 55 and the Bnsf Railway navigate the terrain alongside historic local landmarks. Evidence of the area's long-standing civic and community presence is found at the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery and small family-named settlements like Maltese, Wickes, and Flamm City. Large-scale land use is represented by features like the Bussen Quarry Rd, while recreation and local geography are highlighted by Chesley Island and the Lake of the Woods.
