About this map

Chestnut Ridge and the surrounding highlands of the Saint Francois Mountains anchor this 2015 Missouri landscape, where the border between Ste. Genevieve and St. Francois counties cuts diagonally across a network of spring-fed creeks and small upland settlements. The area is marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Doss, McGee, and Rudy cemeteries, suggesting a deep-rooted genealogical history in these hills.

Water plays a central role in the terrain, defined by the winding paths of Pickle Creek and Sand Creek. A notable natural landmark, the Pickle Springs Double Arch, stands as a prominent geological feature amidst the timbered ridges. Small, established locales like Sprott, Pickel, and Jonca are connected by a web of rural routes such as Genevieve Church Road and Chestnut Ridge Road, reflecting a persistent pattern of rural Missouri settlement that has endured into the 21st century.
