About this map

Joplin and the surrounding tri-state mining district appear at a mid-century peak of industrial and agricultural development. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major rail systems including the St. Louis-San Francisco Ry and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry, which facilitated the movement of lead, zinc, and coal. Numerous mines and quarries dot the borderlands between Crawford and Cherokee counties, while the western reaches transition into the rolling plains marked by distinctive features like Five Mounds and Bender Mounds.
