              South view of St. Joseph - The view shows the appearance of the city, as it is approached from the south by the Missouri River.  The Court House, in the central part, stands on an elevation of about 200 feet; the Railroad from Hannibal enters the city on the rich bottom lands on the right.  The sand bank seen in the view on the left, is within the limits of Kansas.
