1901 Map of Hillsboro
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
De Soto and the surrounding Jefferson County landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways and early industrial sites at the turn of the century. The Big River and Meramec River dominate the terrain, their courses marked by numerous named crossings such as Fishtrap Ford, Pond Ford, and Virginia Mines Ford, which facilitated movement before widespread bridging. The importance of local milling and mining is evident through features like Pohlman Mill, Byrnes Mill, and the Vulcan Mine, illustrating the extractive and processing economies that supported these communities.
