2011 Map of Flat River

About this map

Park Hills and Flat River serve as the central hubs of this 2011 Missouri survey, showcasing a dense network of mining-related history and industrial geography. The landscape is defined by its relation to the lead industry, most notably marked by the Leadwood Tailings Dam and the transition of former industrial sites into recreational spaces like St Joe State Park. Numerous smaller settlements and historical clusters such as Rivermines, Elvins, and Federal underscore the area's heritage of resource extraction and community growth. To the southwest, the terrain rises toward Simms Mountain and Sherrill Mountain, while the Bismarck Memorial Airport sits near the town of Bismarck. Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, including Mitchell Cemetery, Gibson Cemetery, and Saint Johns Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the river valleys and hillside communities.
