1991 Map of Oakville

About this map

The Mississippi River and Meramec River converge at the southern edge of this study, defining a landscape shaped by major watercourses and dense suburban development in south St. Louis County. This map documents the significant footprint of the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery and the adjacent Jefferson Barracks Veterans Hospital along the river bluffs. In Oakville, a high concentration of schools and churches, such as Queen of All Saints Ch and Bernard Sch, indicates the area's late-twentieth-century residential maturation. The riverine environment is preserved in large tracts like Cliff Cave County Park and Bee Tree County Park, while the eastern bank reveals the low-lying agricultural expanse of the American Bottoms. Several smaller communities like Mattes and Flamm City appear alongside major transit corridors like Telegraph Road and the Burlington Northern railroad.
