1946 Map of Union

About this map

The Bourbeuse River and Meramec River carve through this portion of Franklin County, defining a landscape of sharp ridges and deep creek valleys. In the mid-1940s, this area supported an extensive network of rural school districts, including the Old Beaufort Sch, Krakow Sch, and Spring Bluff Sch. The map reveals a transition from the county seat at Union toward more specialized rural sites like Benson Tourist City and the historic Moser Mill.
