1947 Map of Fredericktown
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The St Joseph Lead Mines and the historic operations at Mine La Motte dominate this 1940s landscape, reflecting the heavy industrial heritage of the Old Lead Belt. The Missouri Pacific railroad provides the vital transit link through the rugged St. Francois Mountains, connecting the regional hub of Fredericktown with smaller mining settlements like Slabtown and Syenite. This survey documents a transition in Missouri's lead-mining economy, where massive corporate holdings and smaller prospects like Sebastian Mine and the Catherine Mines operated alongside established agricultural townships.
