2011 Map of Iron Mountain Lake

About this map

Iron Mountain Lake and the settlement of Doe Run anchor this portion of Saint Francois County, where the eastern Ozark landscape is defined by a dense concentration of named peaks and water management systems. The terrain is marked by prominent heights including Stono Mountain, Anderson Mountain, and Tribby Mountain, with drainage provided by the Saint Francis River and Indian Creek. Industrial and aviation markers are evident, from the Pilot Knob Pellet Company Lake Number 2 to the Dove Airstrip south of the main lake. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, such as German Cemetery near Doe Run Creek and Weiss Cemetery on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The distribution of dams, including the Black Upper Lake Dam and Sylvan Lake Dam, reflects a landscape heavily modified for water control and recreation in the early twenty-first century.
