2009 Map of Saint Joseph South

About this map

Saint Joseph expands southward along the Missouri River in this 2009 survey, transitioning from the industrial and urban grid of the city into the smaller outlying communities of Buchanan County. The northern portion is marked by the rail activity at Terminal Junction and the prominent elevation of King Hill, while the surrounding landscape is dotted with long-established family and community burial grounds such as Old Sparta Cemetery and Feuquay Cemetery. These sites, along with small settlements like Matney, Richie, and Pinkston, indicate a rural residential pattern that persists despite the proximity of major transit corridors. Water management is a visible priority across the terrain, evidenced by several named earthen structures including Swanson Lake Dam and Ussary Dam, which regulate the drainages of Bee Creek and Pigeon Creek.
