1963 Map of Maramec Spring

About this map

Maramec Spring and the surrounding Ozark landscape are deeply marked by the region's industrial heritage on this 1960s survey. The presence of the Old Iron Furnace and numerous Iron Pits near the spring highlights the early mineral extraction that defined the local economy before the area was transitioned into conservation lands like the Woodson K Woods State Memorial Wildlife Area. The map captures the city of St James at the top of the sheet, where the Masonic Cemetery serves as a key landmark for genealogical research.
