About this map

Jefferson Barracks and its associated county park anchor the southeastern riverfront of this suburban landscape, where the Mississippi River forms a natural border between Missouri and Illinois. The map illustrates a densely woven network of mid-century residential expansion and civic institutions across St Louis and its neighboring municipalities like Webster Groves and Richmond Heights. Notable for its high density of memorial sites, the area features massive grounds like Sunset Burial Park and Resurrection Cemetery, which alongside smaller plots like Old St Marcus Cemetery, offer significant resources for genealogical research.

Industrial and natural infrastructure intersect at the River Des Peres Drainage Channel, a major engineering feature that defines the local topography. Further north, the preservation of urban green space is evident in the sprawling Tower Grove Park and the renowned Missouri Botanical Garden. Transportation history is marked by the path of the St Louis San Francisco RR and major corridors like Lindbergh Blvd, tracing the development of South County's historic communities.
