St. Louis, Missouri, is located at 38°38′53″N 90°12′44″W.
The city is built primarily on bluffs and terraces that rise 100–200 feet above the western banks of the Mississippi River, just south of the Missouri-Mississippi confluence. Much of the area is a fertile and gently rolling prairie that features low hills and broad, shallow valleys. Both the Mississippi River and the Missouri River have cut large valleys with wide flood plains.
Limestone and dolomite of the Mississippian epoch underlies the area and much of the city is a karst area, with numerous sinkholes and caves, although most of the caves have been sealed shut; many springs are visible along the riverfront. Significant deposits of coal, brick clay, and millerite ore were once mined in the city, and the predominant surface rock, the St. Louis Limestone, is used as dimension stone and rubble for construction.
The St. Louis Geologic fault is exposed along the bluffs and was the source of several historic minor earthquakes; it is part of the St. Louis Anticline which has some petroleum and natural gas deposits outside of the city. St. Louis is also just north of the New Madrid Seismic Zone which in 1811–12 produced a series of earthquakes that are the largest known in the contiguous United States. Seismologists estimate 90% probability of a magnitude 6.0 earthquake by 2040 and 7-10% probability of a magnitude 8.0, such tremors could create significant damage across a large region of the central U.S. including St. Louis.
Near the southern boundary of the City of St. Louis is the River des Peres, virtually the only river or stream within the city limits that is not entirely underground. Most of River des Peres was either channelized or put underground in the 1920s and early 1930s. The lower section of the river was the site of some of the worst flooding of the Great Flood of 1993.
Near the central, western boundary of the city is Forest Park, site of the 1904 World's fair, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904, and the 1904 Summer Olympics, the first Olympic Games held in North America. At the time, St. Louis was the fourth most populous city in the United States.
The Missouri River forms the northern border of St. Louis County, exclusive of a few areas where the river has changed its course. The Meramec River forms most of its southern border. To the east is the City and the Mississippi River.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 171.3 km2. 160.4 km2 of it is land and 11.0 km2 of it is water.

Union Grounds, also known as Union Base Ball Park, was a baseball grounds in St. Louis, Missouri. It was home to the St. Louis Maroons of the Union Association during the 1884 season and the Maroons entry in the National League in 1885 and 1886.
Both the Union Association and the St. Louis Maroons were the brainchild of Henry Lucas, and local newspapers often called the venue "the Lucas Park" or just "Lucas Park". Even after the Maroons joined the National League, local papers continued to call the venue "Union Park" most of the time.
The ballpark was bounded by Jefferson Avenue; Howard Street; 25th Street; and Cass Avenue. Mullanphy Street was later cut through what was once right and center fields.
After the Maroons moved to Indianapolis, Union Park continued to be used for local amateur baseball and other sports, during 1887 and part of 1888. In August 1888, the ballpark's stands were demolished and the land was eventually sold to developers.
Beginning in 2019, the ballpark site and several adjacent city blocks were cleared off to make room for a National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency facility.

Histoire
La basilique-cathédrale de Saint-Louis, également connue comme la cathédrale Saint-Louis ou la nouvelle cathédrale, a été achevée en 1914. Bien que les travailleurs aient commencé la préparation du terrain pour la construction, le 1er mai 1907, la première messe n'a eu lieu qu'en octobre 1914, alors que la superstructure était complète. La consécration de l'église a eu lieu plus de dix ans plus tard, le 29 juin 1926. La cathédrale a été désignée comme une basilique par le pape Jean-Paul II le 4 avril 1997. L'église est connue pour ses grandes mosaïques, ses cryptes funéraires, et l'ajout d'une sculpture en plein air destinée à promouvoir l'harmonie raciale.
