2015 Map of Pacific

About this map

The Meramec River winds through the borderlands where St. Louis, Jefferson, and Franklin Counties meet, anchoring a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and concentrated residential developments. Near the northern bend of the river, the BNSF Railway corridor serves the industrial and transport needs of Pacific and Eureka, while smaller residential enclaves such as Wildwood occupy the higher ridges. The interior of the quadrangle is notably defined by several private water bodies and valley settlements, including Lake Tekawitha and the community of Byrnesville situated along the Big River. Local heritage is anchored by landmarks like St Josephs Ch and its accompanying St Josephs Cem near La Barque Creek, alongside the McNamee Sch, providing clear points of interest for genealogical research in this suburban-rural transition zone.
