About this map

Ironton and Arcadia serve as the primary population centers in this pocket of the Missouri Ozarks, situated in a valley surrounded by prominent peaks. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, notably at Taum Sauk Mountain State Park, which contains the state's highest point and the scenic Mina Sauk Falls. To the north, the distinctive profile of Pilot Knob overlooks the community of the same name and the historic residential area of Brown Row.

Water and topography dictate the local geography, with Stouts Creek winding through the center of the quadrangle while narrow passages like the Royal Gorge and Devils Tollgate highlight the geological complexity of the region. Moving south toward the settlement of Hogan and the site of Allen Mills, the terrain becomes even more isolated, marked by the deep cut of Big Creek and the high ridges of Ketcherside Mountain.
