I came across an interesting site this morning. HistoricAerials.com, St. Louis County is prominent in it’s coverage, with a variety of years shown, I have enjoyed viewing the overflight pics from 1958 and 1971, which do show Carrollton in it’s earliest existence and in it’s heyday, respectively. You can pan and zoom, some of the earlier pics are a bit grainy at closest zoom, but you can get a feel for what it was like as carrollton was created and as it was in it’s glory.
Hope you enjoy.

  Hi Andy,
  
  Nobody can yet say for certain that the direct cause of cancers and other ailments that have affected many Carrollton residents have come from the proximity of Carrollton to both the West Lake Landfill and Coldwater Creek.
  
  However, it is apparant that many residents have suffered cancers and other autoimmune diseases at rates that are seemingly much higher than the general population.
  
  Your valid question is one that has only been recently asked. It will take a very long time, if ever, to have the answers to.
