About this map

Vista and the surrounding rural landscape of St. Clair County are defined by a network of winding waterways and legacy family names. The Sac River meanders through the northwest, while the southeastern corner is carved by Coon Creek and its many tributaries, including West Branch Coon Creek and East Branch Coon Creek. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape deeply connected to its past through numerous burial grounds such as Doyal Cemetery, Roberts Cemetery, and the Freeman-Holsapple Cemetery.

Settlement patterns remain dispersed around nodes like Tracy, Raney, and Topper, connected by a grid of county roads. Notable landmarks like Shryers Bluff and the impoundment at Coleman Lake provide topographic variety. The presence of NE Old Highway 13 and SE Old Highway 13 indicates the evolution of regional transit, marking the transition from historic routes to modern infrastructure while preserving the names of established communities and family tracts.
