About this map

Sainte Genevieve and its surrounding riverfront settlements are centered on this study of the Missouri-Illinois borderlands along the Mississippi River. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the low-lying agricultural plains of Bois Brule Bottom and the Big Field to the rising elevations of Beckett Hills and Lick Hill. This proximity to the river influenced the early development of communities such as New Bourbon and Quarry Town, while the interior shows the convergence of South Gabouri Creek and North Gabouri Creek.

Local landmarks and cemeteries provide significant genealogical value, including Holy Cross Cemetery and the Valle Spring Cemetery. The map also details the hydraulic and aviation infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the Govro Dam to the Sainte Genevieve Flying Club and its associated Landing Strip. Smaller residential enclaves like Saint Jude Acres and Mosher reflect the modern footprint of one of the region's most enduring colonial-era settlements.
