2015 Map of Sullivan

About this map

Sullivan and the surrounding borderlands of Franklin Co and Crawford Co are defined by the winding course of the Meramec River and the industrial backbone of the BNSF Railway. This 2015 study shows a landscape of settled valleys and named hollows, where the expansion of Oak Grove Village and West Sullivan contrasts with the enduring topography of Mineral Hill and Pump Hollow. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous burial sites, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Memorial Cemetery and the family-named Turner Cemetery near the banks of Boone Creek. The proximity of Bourbon at the southwestern corner of the sheet highlights the region's historic transition from agricultural pockets to small-town centers along the rail corridor. Landmarks like City Park Lake and the various springs and lakes, such as Ramstein Lake, illustrate the significance of water resources to the community's development and recreation.
