About this map

The Pacific settlement and the winding course of the Meramec River anchor this topographic study of the Missouri landscape. This area is characterized by a complex drainage network where Fox Creek, McFall Creek, and La Barque Creek converge toward the river valley. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Lost Hill and Bald Hill, while the La Barque Hills dominate the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle.

Residential and recreational development is evident in the numerous small lakes and community clusters, including Fun Valley Lake, Lake Tekawitha, and Rustic Hills Lake. To the south, the settlement of Byrnesville sits near the confluence of Buck Creek and the Big River. This map captures a landscape of transition, where established towns like Pacific meet the rugged terrain of Catawissa Hollow and the institutional grounds of Father Dunn Camp, reflecting the varied land use of Saint Louis County in the early 21st century.
