About this map

Industrial history and deep Ozark hollows define this area of the Mark Twain National Forest during the late 1960s. The settlement of Fremont serves as a central point along the St Louis - San Francisco railroad line, which follows the winding course of Pike Creek through the terrain. North of town, the Site of Old Midco Iron Works remains a significant landmark near Midco Hollow and Midco Cem, marking a site of former extractive industry.

Genealogists can locate several family and community burial grounds, including Pleasant Site Cem, Snider Cem, and Evaline Cem, tucked away in the various hollows such as Snider Hollow and Young Hollow. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the remote character of Falling Spring and the Big Barren Creek drainage, while the Fremont Lookout Tower stands atop a high ridge overlooking the Shannon and Carter County line.
