2012 Map of Mineral Point

About this map

Mineral Point stands as a focal point in this Washington County landscape, where the legacy of regional industry is etched into the terrain through numerous dams and tailings sites. The industrial footprint is evident in structures like the Cadet Mine Tailings Dam and Old Washer Number 1 Dam, reflecting a history of mineral extraction. Residential and recreational patterns shift toward the east at Terre Du Lac, a community defined by its cluster of private lakes including Lac Bourbon and Lac Capri. Local genealogy is well-preserved across the quadrangle, with family-named landmarks such as the Aquilla Cole Cemetery and Jarvis Farm Cemetery marking the early settlements of Fountain Farm and French Town. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is anchored by the Washington County Airport and the Potosi Lookout Tower near Hopewell.
