The town of Potosi serves as the focal point of this Washington County survey, where the town’s growth is traced against a landscape defined by industrial history. Extensive mines and tailings ponds surrounding the settlement reflect the long-standing extraction economy of the region, specifically along Breton Creek and Keyes Br. The Missouri Pacific railroad connects these industrial sites to the wider world, while smaller rural pockets like Springtown and Latty reveal the era's local community structure.
