In the case of the St. Louis area, the summer solstice and the following 4 days afterwards would be the days when the sun comes up at its northernmost point. If you look at a globe, the northernmost point the sun will rise is at the tropic of cancer which is 23½ degrees north of the equator and runs just north of cuba.

anywhere in the northern hemisphere, there is a single day when the sun comes up farthest north, the day when daylight time is the longest, and if I am not mistaken it's the 22 or 23 of June.
