2015 Map of Farmington

About this map

Farmington serves as the focal point of this 2015 study, situated at the edge of the Saint Francois Mountains. The landscape is a complex intersection of historic industry and municipal growth, anchored by its proximity to The Lead Belt. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with burial grounds, ranging from the Negro Masonic Cemetery and Saint Paul Lutheran Cemetery to smaller family plots like the Jennings Cemetery and Patterson Cemetery. To the north, the connected communities of Leadington, Park Hills, and East Flat River indicate the tight-knit settlement pattern typical of the region's mining heritage. Educational and transportation infrastructure is well-defined by the Mineral Area Coll campus and the Farmington Regional Airport, while the Saint Francois River and its numerous tributaries like Three Rivers Cr and Koen Cr drain the eastern slopes of the Ozark highlands.
