About this map

The Meramec River and its northern counterpart, the Bourbeuse River, frame a landscape of deep hollows and ridgelines in Franklin County. This region is anchored by the communities of St. Clair and Anaconda, where the alignment of Interstate 44 and historical service roads like N Svc Rd W follow the established corridor of the Ozark foothills. Numerous hollows, including Dutch Hollow and Twin Springs Hollow, illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding into the larger river systems.

Local genealogy is well-documented through scattered burial grounds such as Green Mound Baptist Cem, Stanton Cem, and the Kamper Cem. Near Stanton, the presence of Roaring Spring and Twin Springs highlights the karst topography and groundwater features typical of this Missouri terrain. The map also records smaller residential developments like Charmwood and specialized landmarks such as Trutsch Lakes and Carvers Lake, documenting the local geography as it appeared in 2017.
