About this map

The Meramec River winds through the northwestern corner of this Crawford County landscape, where the town of Steelville serves as a central hub. This early 21st-century survey documents a region defined by its numerous water sources, including Big Spring, Evans Spring, and Long Spring, alongside more modern developments like Helmering Farms Lake. The map provides excellent detail for family historians, noting several distinct burial grounds such as Moultray Cemetery, Edwards Cemetery, and Eaton Cemetery scattered across the countryside.

Transportation corridors like Frisco St and a network of rural routes connect small settlements including Cherry Valley, Midland, and Birds Nest. On the southern edge, the Keysville Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark overlooking the watershed of Whittenburg Creek. The map effectively illustrates the transition from the concentrated streets of the county seat to the outlying farms and dammed lakes of the Missouri interior.
