About this map

Industrial history and Ozark wilderness converge in this survey of Fremont and the surrounding reaches of the Mark Twain National Forest. The map documents a specific legacy of the regional timber and iron industries, most notably the Site of Old Midco Iron Works situated along the winding drainage of Midco Creek. This area, once a center for charcoal iron production, is punctuated by relic infrastructure like the Old Tram Road, which snakes through the wooded hollows toward the Carter and Shannon County lines.

Local genealogy is well-represented through a high density of rural burial grounds, including New Hope Cemetery, Evaline Cemetery, and the Midco Cemetery. The terrain is defined by steep ridges like Windes Hill and Retort Hill, offering a clear view of the deep valleys such as Young Hollow and Vermilion Hollow. The settlement at Loblolly Junction and the prominent Fremont Tower serve as landmarks within the dense forest cover near the convergence of Pike Creek and Little Pike Creek.
