About this map

Meramec State Park serves as the focal point for this 1934 survey, capturing a landscape defined by the winding course of the Meramec River and the early infrastructure of Missouri's conservation efforts. The presence of a CCC Camp and the Lone Hill Firetower reflects the era's public works projects, while the surrounding terrain is marked by dozens of narrow drainage valleys such as Copper Hollow and Silver Hollow.

Social and civic life in this portion of Franklin and Washington Counties is anchored by several rural institutions, including Reedville Ch and multiple schools like Pea Ridge Sch and Hamilton Sch. River crossings at Sappington Bridge and Hamilton Ford highlight the reliance on the river's geography for local transit. Notable geological features, including Mushroom Cave, Fisher Cave, and La Jolla Spring, indicate the karst topography that draws visitors to this Ozark region.
