Description

A 1943 map of the Jefferson Barracks Military Post in Lemay, Missouri. The map shows post boundary lines, railroads, roads, bridges, buildings, fences, U.S. river gauges, U.S. geological benchmarks, and other details. The map has been annotated to show the proposed post-World War II reorganization of the facility. The handwritten annotations describe the areas highlighted in color pencil. The handwriting surrounding the orange area reads: "County Application," "P.H.A.," "County Housing," and "Proposed National Museum area." The handwriting describing the green area reads: "All green area. Air Forces as frozen by W.A.A. See brief for further explanation and county proposal." The handwriting describing the area within the red lines reads: "Cemetery area between red lines." Handwriting on the back reads: "O.F. 572, Jefferson Barracks National Monument (Proposed), Ltr., June 21, 1949." A stamp on the back reads in part: "Joseph W. Dierker, Attorney, Lemay 23, MO."
