About this map

Meramec River flows through the northern reaches of this Missouri landscape, which is defined by the significant confluence of river valleys and ridgelines in the early 1930s. The topographic detail, surveyed by M.J. Harden and E.J. Fennell, reveals a rural network of small communities and crossroads. Settlements like Byrnes Mill and House Springs serve as focal points for the surrounding hills, while the Big River winds through the southwestern section, passing Rockford Beach.

Educational life in this part of Jefferson County is anchored by rural schools, including Cedar Sch, Whiteoak Sch, and Heads Creek Sch. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous creeks, such as Antire Creek, Heads Creek, and Saline Creek, which shaped the early development of travel routes like State Highway No 30 and Antonia Road. This era captures the region before extensive suburban expansion, preserving the layout of family farms and local landmarks like Hoene Spring and Echo Lake.
