2021 Map of Sainte Genevieve

About this map

Sainte Genevieve National Historical Park preserves the complex architectural and cultural landscape of this early colonial site along the Mississippi River. This modern topographic study shows the town of Ste. Genevieve and its surrounding agricultural and industrial areas, including the Burlington Northern Santa Fe RR corridor. The geography is characterized by the flat Bois Brule Bottom and Moro Island in the river valley, transitioning sharply to the Beckett Hills and Lick Hill to the south. Local history is deeply embedded in the map via numerous burial sites like Holy Cross Lutheran Cem, Memorial Cem, and Saints Philip and James Cem. Significant civic landmarks include the Sainte Genevieve County Courthouse and the Ste Genevieve Flying Club. From the smaller settlements of Mosher and New Bourbon to the drainage of River aux Vases, the map tracks the persistence of early French colonial place-names in a contemporary landscape.
