2011 Map of Sprott

About this map

Chestnut Ridge serves as a prominent geographic and community anchor in this part of Ste. Genevieve County, defined by a network of rural roads and scattered small settlements. The landscape is dotted with family and community burial grounds, including Doss Cemetery, McGee Cemetery, and Oakland Cemetery, reflecting generations of local residency. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, as evidenced by numerous private and community impoundments such as Lake Genevieve, Tragden Lake, and Pineview Lake. The drainage patterns of Jonca Creek and Sand Creek carve through the countryside, influencing the placement of early homesteads and road crossings. Small hubs like Sprott, Jonca, and Pickel represent the enduring rural centers of the area, while the presence of the Sainte Genevieve Sportsman Club Lake Dam suggests a history of local recreation and land use tied to the region's natural resources.
