About this map

The Missouri Ozarks are captured here at the start of the 1980s, revealing a landscape defined by natural springs and the legacy of lead mining in Richwoods and Liberty townships. The Indian Creek Mine is the most prominent industrial landmark, complete with its Tailings and Mine Dump adjacent to the Missouri Pacific rail line. Scattered rural settlements like Ebo and Troutt anchor the local geography, alongside smaller landmarks such as the Fish Hatchery on Watson Creek.

Family history and community roots are documented through numerous burial grounds, including Smith Cem, Griggs Cem, and Liberty Cem. The natural terrain is marked by significant features like Big Spring, Lime Flowing Well, and the high points of Pea Ridge and Wallow Ridge. Large portions of the area are managed as the Pea Ridge State Forest and the Mark Twain National Forest, preserving the wooded character of the Joshua Hill vicinity.
