1968 Map of Iron Mountain Lake

About this map

The St Francis River flows through the northern reaches of this Missouri landscape, which is defined by the high elevations of the Clark National Forest. In the late 1960s, the region was a mix of settled valleys and timbered peaks like Stono Mountain and Arcadia Mountain. This survey documents the intersection of several county lines where Iron, St. Francois, and Madison counties meet. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several community centers, including Doe Run, Mineral City, and Iron Mountain Lake. Notable landmarks include an aqueduct and a lookout tower, while the Pacific railroad corridor reflects the area's industrial transit routes. Numerous family and community burial sites, such as German Cem and Grieder Cem, are located in the hills and small clearings throughout the terrain.
