2017 Map of Weldon Spring

About this map

Howell Island and Lauer Island dominate the wide corridor of the Missouri River, marking the border between St. Charles and St. Louis counties. The landscape transitions from the river's wetland environments into the growing suburbs of O'Fallon, Weldon Spring, and Chesterfield. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous named burial grounds such as the Francis Howell Cem, Thomas Howell Cem, and Wolf Cem. The map shows a notable concentration of managed water bodies in the northwest, including August A Busch Lake Number 3 and numerous numbered companions. Modern infrastructure is prominent, from the Spirit of St Louis Airport in the south to the Daniel Boone Bridge spanning the river, alongside local landmarks like the Friedens German/English Evangelical Cem in Hamburg.
