1954 Map of Webster Groves

About this map

Webster Groves and the surrounding southwest St. Louis suburbs are shown here in a detailed layering of mid-century development and later 20th-century expansion. The landscape is defined by its extensive educational and religious institutions, ranging from Webster College and Kenrick Seminary to the St Louis Preparatory Seminary. These campuses, alongside numerous parochial schools like St Michaels Sch, reflect the social fabric of these established residential communities. Significant land tracts are dedicated to the dead, with a dense corridor of memorial grounds including Resurrection Cemetery, Lakewood Park Cemetery, and the sprawling National Cemetery near the historic Jefferson Barracks.
