About this map

Fredericktown serves as the central hub of this 2017 study, where the urban street grid meets the winding Saline Cr. The landscape is defined by its deep mining heritage, most notably at the historic Mine La Motte settlement to the north and the industrial footprint of Cobalt and Cobalt Village to the southeast. These sites, accompanied by features like Tailings Lake and Freshwater Lake, illustrate the long-term environmental and social impact of mineral extraction in the region.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the terrain, from the Saint Michaels Catholic Cem in town to rural locations like Buckner Cem, Kessler Cem, and Motte Cem. The Little Saint Francis River carves through the western hills of the Saint Francois Mountains, passing through The Narrows and below Mt Devon. This intersection of industrial history, rugged topography, and established family landmarks like Catherine Place and Millcreek provides a clear record of Madison County's contemporary composition.
