2022 Map of Becks Mill

About this map

Becks Mill serves as a historic focal point in this portion of Washington County, situated where the Blue River and several spring-fed creeks carve through the local topography. The area is defined by the Mitchell Plain, a limestone landscape known for its subterranean drainage, exemplified by the Lost River and its south fork, which flow through the northern reaches near Salem. This karst geography influenced the placement of early settlements and industry, as seen in the collection of mill-related sites and springs like Sulphur Springs and Indian Spring.
