1954 Map of Oakville

About this map

Jefferson Barracks and the massive National Cemetery anchor the northern reaches of this Mississippi River landscape, where the Missouri-Illinois border follows the main channel. The terrain is defined by the confluence of the Meramec River and the Mississippi, creating a network of islands and bottomlands like Chesley Island. To the west, the growth of suburban communities like Oakville and Arnold is evident, connected by established thoroughfares such as Lemay Ferry Road and Telegraph Road.
