2015 Map of Johnson Mountain

About this map

Maxwells Mill and the headwaters of the Big River define this corner of the Mark Twain National Forest along the border of Iron and Washington counties. The landscape is characterized by the high peaks of the Saint Francois Mountains, including Johnson Mountain and Bell Mtn, which rise above a network of hollows and creeks. In the north, Council Bluff Lake provides a focal point near Council Bluffs and Chapel Hill Beach, while the southern reaches of the map track the rural settlements of Redmondville and Goodland. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Terry Cemetery and Rencehausen Cemetery offers precise locations for family research. The drainage patterns of the Middle Fork Black River and various tributaries like Kaolin Cr and Ottery Cr illustrate the complex hydrography of the Missouri Ozarks.
