2017 Map of Fletcher

About this map

The Big River winds through the heart of this Jefferson County landscape, carving a deep valley through the northern reaches of the Saint Francois Mountains. Settlement is concentrated in small communities like Fletcher and Ware, where rural life is anchored by several local burial grounds including McCain Cem and Maness Cem. The terrain is defined by its dramatic relief, featuring prominent points like Harness Bluff and a series of named valleys such as Cedar Hollow and Grinnin Hollow. This 2017 survey reflects the modern road network, including State Hwy H, while preserving the locations of historical hamlets like Frumet. Water is a defining element of the area, with numerous small impoundments such as Lake George and Kinnippi Lake punctuating the wooded hillsides east of Mount Freedom.
