2017 Map of Knob Lick

About this map

The Little Saint Francis River cuts a central path through this section of the Ozark Plateau, where the rugged terrain of the Saint Francois Mountains transitions into the productive valley lands of Libertyville and Knob Lick. The landscape is a mosaic of family-named hollows and knobs, such as Gobble Hollow and Peg Knob, reflecting a long history of rural land use and timber management within the Mark Twain National Forest. Local heritage is anchored by a significant number of small burial grounds, including the Harris Cem, Sebastian Cem, and Methodist Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and along historic thoroughfares like Old Fredericktown Rd. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the headwaters of Rock Cr and the waters of Lake La Motte, where the Saint Francois and Madison county lines meet near Castle Rock.
