About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the central artery for this late-20th-century landscape, marking the boundary between St. Louis and Monroe counties. On the Missouri side, the sprawling grounds of the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery and the adjacent Jefferson Barracks Veterans Hospital anchor the northern edge of the sheet. Suburban growth is evident in communities like Oakville and Mattese, while the rugged river bluffs are preserved in Cliff Cave County Park.

Southwest across the Meramec River, the city of Arnold and Flamm City represent the intersection of heavy transport and residential life, linked to the east by the Jefferson Barracks Bridge. Across the water in Illinois, the American Bottoms provide a stark contrast with low-lying drainage features like Long Slash Creek and Carr Creek, illustrating the distinct geographic divide between the high Missouri bluffs and the fertile Illinois floodplains.
