1937 Map of Ironton
USGS Topo · Published 1937About this map
Ironton and Arcadia serve as the central hubs of this late-1930s survey, positioned in a valley surrounded by the notable peaks of the St. Francois Mountains. The landscape is heavily influenced by the presence of the Missouri Pacific railroad, which snakes through the corridor between Pilot Knob and Iron Mountain. Evidence of early mining and industrial legacy is visible at Iron Mountain Lake and the Devils Toll Gate. The map also captures several rural educational and religious sites, such as the White Sch and Mt Hope Ch, alongside specialized landmarks like the U S Rifle Range. Moving south, the terrain becomes increasingly steep at Taum Sauk Mountain and the narrow passage of Royal Gorge, illustrating the geographic constraints that shaped local settlement and transportation routes during this era.
