1991 Map of St. Jacob
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
The agricultural plains of St Jacob and Troy are defined by the winding course of Silver Creek and its tributaries, including East Fork Silver Creek and Little Silver Creek. This 1991 survey illustrates a landscape deeply rooted in family history, evidenced by a high density of small burial grounds such as Hagler Cem, Gilead Cem, and Lagenwalter Cem scattered among the farmsteads. The transition from traditional rail transport to modern aviation is visible through the Old Railroad Grade passing through the center of the sheet and the presence of the Metro-East Airport. Notable landmarks such as Emerald Mound and Terrapin Ridge punctuate the drainage basins, while the village of St Jacob centers around St James Ch and its Township Park. Resource extraction is noted by several Oil Wells and a Gas Well in the eastern sections of the quadrangle.
