About this map

Fredericktown serves as the hub of this Madison County landscape, where the Little Saint Francis River meets a network of local roads and water bodies shaped by centuries of mining activity. The northern reaches of the map are defined by the legacy of Mine La Motte, featuring extensive water management sites like Mine La Motte Reservoir, Mine Lamotte Lake, and the tellingly named Slime Pond. These industrial imprints contrast with the surrounding elevations of Buckner Mountain and Mount Devon.

Family history is deeply etched into the terrain through more than a dozen burial grounds, including the Marcus Memorial Cemetery near Millcreek and the Arnett Cemetery south of town. Smaller settlements such as Catherine Place, Junction City, and Cobalt Village cluster around the primary town center, reflecting the localized growth and industrial pockets of the early 21st century. Significant infrastructure, including the Fredericktown Municipal Airport and multiple dams like the Main Tailings Dam - Anschutz, underscore the area's complex relationship between its natural waterways and regional industry.
