2015 Map of Iron Mountain Lake

About this map

The Saint Francis River winds through the northern portion of this quadrangle, defining the terrain of Saint Francois County. In the eastern hills, the small settlement of Mineral City sits amidst a landscape of significant elevation changes and Missouri woodland. This 2015 edition provides a contemporary perspective on the rural character of the region, showing the enduring boundaries and road networks that have supported local agriculture and small-town life for generations. The topography is characterized by the complex drainage patterns feeding into the river, reflecting a quiet corner of the Ozark Plateau where the geography remains largely dominated by its natural features and traditional land use patterns.
