2010 Map of Lone Star

About this map

The industrial and natural character of Cass and Morris Counties converges near Lone Star, where the Lone Star Steel Company Airport and Black Mountain Mine highlight the region's resource-driven economy. Significant water management is evident through the massive Ellison Creek Reservoir, held by the Ellison Creek Dam, and the northern reaches of Lake O' the Pines. This 2010 survey also captures a deeply rooted local landscape, preserving the locations of numerous family and community sites such as Clark Cemetery, South Union Cemetery, and the Iron Bluff Cemetery. From the heights of Black Mountains and Buzzard Roose Mountain to the banks of Big Cypress Creek, the map details a terrain shaped by both heavy industry and significant hydroelectric and water-storage projects.
