About this map

The Saint Francois Mountains dominate this landscape, where the neighboring settlements of Ironton and Arcadia sit at the western edge of a terrain defined by narrow hollows and high peaks. The 2021 data reflects a region deeply layered with local history, evidenced by the high density of burial grounds including Masonic Cem, the Knights of Pythias Cem, and Rebel Cem. To the east, the community of Roselle is positioned near the Iron Co Madison Co line, while the resort-oriented Killarney Shores borders a prominent local waterway.

Industrial and natural landmarks such as Wagon Wheel Gap and the prominent Pilot Knob provide fixed points for understanding early passage through the hills. Conservation areas like the Pilot Knob National Wildlife Refuge and the extensive Mark Twain National Forest encompass much of the rugged topography, protecting drainage basins for Stouts Creek and Patterson Cr. These features illustrate a modern balance between historic Missouri Ozark settlements and preserved wilderness.
