About this map

The Meramec River winds through the heart of this Franklin County landscape, creating a dramatic series of bends that define the local geography. Significant residential development radiates from St. Clair and Parkway, while smaller enclaves like Piney Park and Lake Saint Clair occupy the more wooded terrain to the south. The area’s spiritual and genealogical history is anchored by New Hope Church and the Bethel Baptist Church Cem, alongside several smaller family burial grounds including Fisher Cem and Cove Cem.

Tracing the historical crossings of the river reveals Plum Ford, a site that suggests the earlier importance of river-level travel before modern road networks dominated the region. Natural landmarks such as Cove Spring and the prominent Lost Hill provide fixed points in a landscape that has transitioned from rural farming to more suburbanized residential patterns, all while maintaining the complex drainage network of Cove Cr and Happy Sack Cr.
