1953 Map of Ironton
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Taum Sauk Mountain anchors this rugged landscape in the Missouri Ozarks, appearing here just as postwar infrastructure was solidifying in the St. Francois Mountains. The topographic detail highlights the industrial legacy of the region, specifically at the Ozark Ore Co operations near Iron Mountain. The Missouri Pacific railroad serves as the primary artery connecting the valley settlements of Ironton, Arcadia, and Pilot Knob. Cultural sites like the Arcadia Bible Camp and the County Farm reflect the mid-century social fabric of Iron County. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds, from the German Cem to the Rebel Cem, alongside numerous rural schools like Cedar Bluff Sch and Thorn Grove Sch that served these valley communities before mid-century consolidation.
