About this map

The Saint Francois Mountains define the topography of this region, where the mineral-rich history of Iron County is written into the landscape. Industrial remnants like the Iron Mountain Tailings Pond and Ozark Ore Company Lake sit alongside the namesake peaks of Iron Mtn and Little Iron Mtn, reflecting a long heritage of extraction. The settlement pattern is anchored by Graniteville and Belleview, with numerous family and community burial grounds, including Graniteville Cem and Thomas Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists.

Water systems like the Saint Francis River and the E Fork Black River drain the high ground of Buford Mtn and Bald Knob. The map traces a complex network of local transit from State Hwy U to remote forest tracks like Possum Trot. These routes connect the residential areas of Holiday Shores and Pilot Knob, offering a detailed view of the contemporary interface between Missouri's wilder peaks and its historical mining towns.
