2012 Map of Saint Joseph North

About this map

The Missouri River flows along the western edge of Saint Joseph, framing a dense urban grid that transitions into the Northwestern Loess Hills to the north. This modern survey illustrates the expansive reach of the city into the surrounding hills, where residential growth has reached Country Club Village and the rural crossroads of Avenue City. The landscape is notable for its numerous burial grounds, ranging from the historic Mount Mora Cemetery near the city center to the Vanschoiack Cemetery and B'nai Sholem Cemetery further north, providing a detailed record for genealogists and local historians. To the east, the meandering One Hundred and Two River and its tributary, Long Branch, define the low-lying drainage patterns outside the municipal boundaries. Educational and recreational landmarks such as the Missouri Western State University Western Campus and Moila Golf Course anchor the city's suburban expansion during the early twenty-first century.
