2012 Map of Meramec State Park

About this map

The Meramec River winds through this landscape, defining a region where dense conservation forests meet small valley settlements. Along its banks, features such as La Jolla Spring, Fife Bottom, and New Beach point to a long history of river-based activity. To the south, the terrain becomes more defined by ridges and hollows, such as Primrose Hollow and Greens Hollow, where the community of Pea Ridge sits near its namesake Pea Ridge Cemetery. The map captures industrial and civic history through the Old Hamilton Works and the Reedville School, while the Kelleter Lookout Tower near Hulsey stands as a prominent landmark for forest management. This network of springs, fords like Garrett Ford, and gaps reveals how the local topography has dictated travel and settlement patterns throughout the area.
