1987 Map of Farmington
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The St Francois Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape, featuring the highest point in the state at Taum Sauk Mountain. This region, deeply shaped by its geology, displays a unique pattern of industrial and recreational land use. Historic mining operations like the Iron Mountain Mine and Mine La Motte are visible alongside the sprawling tailing ponds and reclamation areas that now form St Joe State Park. The map documents the lead belt's transition, where settlements such as Bonne Terre, Leadwood, and Flat River sit adjacent to newer planned communities like Terre Du Lac. Transportation is anchored by the Missouri Pacific railroad and a network of highways including Us 67 and Missouri 21, connecting these industrial hubs to the rugged interior of the Mark Twain National Forest and specialized preserves like Elephant Rocks State Park and the Bell Mountain Wilderness.
