2017 Map of Weingarten

About this map

Bloomsdale and the surrounding Ste. Genevieve County countryside are defined by a complex network of creeks and hollows that historically shaped local settlement patterns. Small communities like New Offenburg, Weingarten, and Zell are scattered across a landscape where industry and agriculture meet. Evidence of the area's extraction history is preserved at the Copper Mine site near Copper Mine Cr, while names like Moonshine Hollow and Joe Schilly Hollow hint at the personal histories of the rugged terrain. To the west, the Grayhawk area shows more contemporary development around a series of recreational water bodies including Lake Susan, Lake Anne, and Lake Ocie. This map captures the intersection of traditional crossroads and 21st-century infrastructure, with Establishment Creek and the River aux Vases providing the primary drainage for the undulating ridges of Deakin Ridge and the Sugar Hills.
