1969 Map of Sullivan

About this map

Sullivan emerges as a growing municipal hub at the junction of the St Louis - San Francisco railroad and modern highway transit during the late 1960s. The landscape is marked by the transition from industrial extraction to community expansion, evidenced by Claypits and a Claypit scattered near Elmont while newer developments like the Sullivan Country Club and a Drive-in Theater appear on the town's periphery. To the southwest, the town of Bourbon maintains its own distinct identity near the Hill Cem, while the rugged hills of Mineral Hill and Hyde lead down toward the Meramec River.
