St. Louis Planning and Development Maps

For those wanting to learn more about St. Louis, studying maps is a good place to start. The East-West Gateway Coordinating Council has lots of maps accessible at their website, all updated since 2004 or 2005.

There you will find a wide variety of St. Louis maps, ranging from maps about population density to maps of our many historic sites.

Development activity can be tracked to information found on maps. Consider the ubiquitous QuikTrip Corporation. Ever wonder why QuikTrip is so interested in building in the City of St. Louis? Just take one look at our population density.

Many locations where QuikTrip operates are low density, suburban areas. By comparison, the City of St. Louis offers three to four times the population density of its suburban neighbors. More people equal more potential customers. Many studies have shown that there is greater purchasing power per square mile in the City of St. Louis than in many of its surrounding suburbs.

To see the full list of maps available online, visit the East-West Gateway map page.
