Benton Park West is a neighborhood located in South St. Louis City. The neighborhood is bounded by Jefferson Ave. on the east, Gravois Ave. (MO Route 30) on the north and west, and an irregular boundary consisting of Cherokee Street, S. Compton Ave., and Potomac Street to the south. [ [http://stlcin.missouri.org/nbr/neighprofile.cfm?neighnum=30 Neighborhood Data Profile for Benton Park West ] ] The neighborhood is the conglomeration of two different neighborhoods in the 1970’s, Compton Hill and Marquette-Cheorkee. Parts of these two 1970’s neighborhoods make up the current day Benton Park West. Marquette-Cherokee was bounded by Arsenal Street on the north, Bates Street on the south and Grand Boulevard on the west. Its eastern edge is the bank of the Mississippi River.
