About this map

Iron Mountain Lake and the rugged reaches of the Saint Francois Mountains define this landscape in the southeastern Missouri interior. The map documents the region's industrial and geological legacy, notably through the Iron Mountain Tailings Pond and the proximity of the Mark Twain National Forest. Local communities like Graniteville, Middlebrook, and Ghermanville are situated among prominent heights such as Buford Mtn and Bald Knob.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, including the Edison Cemetery, Thomas Cemetery, and Link Cemetery. The terrain is shaped by the Saint Francis River and the E Fork Black River, which carve through the high ground. Notable geological and recreational landmarks like Buzzards Roost and Snow Hollow Lake further illustrate the character of this part of Iron and Saint Francois Counties.
