2017 Map of Irondale

About this map

The Saint Francois Mountains define the southwestern landscape of this Missouri quadrangle, where the Big River winds through the terrain near the town of Irondale. This modern survey documents the interface between the high ground of Hughes Mtn and the established settlements like Bismarck, located at the southeastern edge. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying numerous family and community burial sites such as Hughes Cem, Wallen Cem, and the Bismarck Masonic Cem. Hydrological features including Lake Sacajawea and Lake Apache illustrate the managed water resources of the area, while the network of county roads and remnants of local industry, like the corridor near Zinc Mine Rd, highlight the long-standing economic ties to the mineral-rich earth of this region.
