About this map

Hughes Mountain and Round Mountain anchor the terrain of this Saint Francois County region, where the Big River winds through a landscape defined by small settlements and water management. The town of Irondale serves as a central hub, flanked by recreation and utility at Lake Apache and Lake Cherokee. To the south, the community of Bismarck marks the edge of the survey, while the small locale of Maryden sits near the banks of Mill Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the Big River Cemetery, Hughes Cemetery, and Wallen Cemetery. The map also documents historical crossing points like McCormack Ford on the Big River and several private dams, such as the Yacovelli Lake Dam and Cates Lake Dam, illustrating how water resources have been shaped for local use and residential development at Hillview Lake.
