Understanding the Resident Profile Structure and Pages
The 104 residents listed on Plate 71 of the Compton and Dry Map Book have been located on the actual map Plate 71 above corresponding to their list number, and have been designated on the grid below.
The 104 residents are have been divided into three sectors within which there are a total of seven groups, designated by the shading shown above. (North on all the maps is to the right). Each group is made up of between 12 to 15 residents.
The master list below includes each resident’s location number, sector, group, name and address based on the 1875 Gould’s St. Louis Directory. Each research group has its own web page and map which is found under the “104 Page 72 Research Targets” tab on the menu bar. That group’s resident profile links include the resident’s name, address and the extra information. Tinted resident profile buttons are live links to completed profile pages. White profile buttons represent targeted residents in the sector and group that are still being researched.
All of the completed profiles are located under the “Populated Resident Profiles” menu tab.
For example, Central Presbyterian Church is designated by the No. 88 on the original Compton and Dry Plate 71 and on the grid above and list below. That location has been assigned to Section 1 and Group 1. Accessing the Section 1 – Group 1 link under the “104 Page 72 Research Targets” tab on the menu bar takes you to the page on which are included that group’s profile links. Clicking on the Central Presbyterian Church profile link takes you to its page.
