About this map

The Bourbeuse River winds through the southern portion of this Franklin County landscape, shaping the local topography as it flows past established rural communities. The city of Union serves as the central hub, surrounded by smaller historical settlements including Jeffriesburg, Krakow, and Neier. The area is notably defined by its religious and commemorative heritage, with numerous sites such as Saint Jordans Church Cem and Saint Gertrude Cem anchoring the community's genealogy.

Water management and natural drainage systems are visible through features like the Justin J Weil Reservoir and Beckmann Number 1 Reservoir, while various creeks such as Flat Cr and Saint Johns Creek lattice the terrain. The map details a transition from the structured street grid of the city to the winding rural routes like Old US Hwy 50 and Germantown Rd, reflecting the blend of residential growth and traditional Missouri countryside.
