2012 Map of Saint Clair

About this map

The Meramec River winds through the heart of this Franklin County landscape, creating a complex geography of bends and valleys that define the local settlement patterns. In the northwest, Saint Clair serves as a major hub, bordered by the Saint Clair Regional Airport and residential developments like Parkway. The river's influence is evident in the many crossings and waterside communities, including Piney Park and the crossing at Plum Ford to the southwest. Away from the main river corridor, the terrain transitions into more rural areas marked by family history and small watercourses like Happy Sock Creek and Birch Creek. Genealogists may find value in the documentation of local burial grounds, such as Fisher Cemetery and Cove Cemetery, which are situated near Cove Spring and the distinctive summit of Lost Hill in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle.
