About this map

The Meramec River and Big River define the winding drainage patterns of this Missouri landscape, where the town of Pacific serves as a critical junction for the Missouri Pacific and St Louis San Francisco railroads. Industrial activity is evident along the river valley, marked by extensive sand and gravel pits and scattered Mines. These economic arteries contrast with the more secluded reaches of La Barque Creek and McFall Creek to the south.

Local history is preserved in the location of the St Josephs Hill Infirmary and religious landmarks like Our Lady of Czestochowa and St Stephens Ch. In the northern portion of the map, the community of Eureka sits near the base of Bald Hill, while the Allenton Sch and Father Dunn Camp reflect the area's mid-century civic and recreational development. To the south, Byrnesville marks a point of settlement near the confluence of Buck Creek and Sand Creek.
