About this map

The Saint Francois Mountains define the northern horizon of this Wayne County landscape, where the settlement of Patterson serves as a local hub. The area is deeply rooted in its local history, evidenced by a high density of family and community burial grounds such as Sparks Cemetery, Jones Cemetery, and English Cemetery. These landmarks, along with the smaller community of Damon, are situated among prominent peaks like Rings Creek Mtn and Wilcox Mtn.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, from the prominent Saint Francis River in the east to the smaller Big Lake Cr and Wet Fork to the south. Much of the land is preserved within the Mark Twain National Forest, maintaining a landscape of springs and lakes, including Fulton Spring and McCormick Lake. The transition from river bottomlands to the Ozark foothills is connected by a network of rural routes and the notable Black Bridge.
