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 annotated legend highlights areas under jurisdiction of the Army, areas to be applied for by the state, areas under jurisdiction of the Public Housing Administration, areas to be applied for by the county, areas under jurisdiction of the Veterans Administration, and areas to be sold by the War Assets Administration.
