Camille N. Drie

Camille N. Drie (active 1871–1904) also known as Camille N. Dry, was a draughtsman active in the Southern United States. Drie created pictorial maps of various cities, including a 110-sheet view of St. Louis, Missouri. The Library of Congress has a collection of his work.

Urban planning historian John W. Reps cites Drie's 1875 110-sheet view of St. Louis as a "tour de force" in a 1984 catalog, describing its scale and accuracy as "an accomplishment beyond any reasonable expectation." Drie worked with Richard J. Compton to produce the St. Louis project, and likely also had a team of assistants, although none are named in his records. Drie is recorded as having lived in St. Louis from 1875 to 1878. and Vicksburg, Mississippi. His final work was a plot of Birmingham, Alabama, published in 1904.
