Historic Map - St. Louis, MO - 1907

The heart of St. Louis.

Reproduction panorama engraving of the city known as St. Louis, MO, published by Fred Graf in 1907. With the underlining slogans of "To the Front" and "Nothing Impossible", St. Louis continued to prosper until the first World War. Residential areas began to merge together between major roads that linked easily to the outlying communities. Along these roads shopping centers popped up at every intersection. The transit system used these thoroughfares making them busy hubs. In 1907 the United Railways Company took control of the last independent line creating one single transit system that would serve the entire city. The World's Fair of 1904 had brought worldwide attention to St. Louis and spurred a new era of construction that included hotels, office buildings and homes. St. Louis was becoming the world's largest producer of products such as beer, shoes, wagons and stoves.

The panorama image features lively scenes of railroad, riverboat, carriage, automobile and streetcar traffic.
