2011 Map of Rhodes Mountain

About this map

Silver Mine and the remnants of the local mining industry dominate this Madison County landscape, where the Saint Francis River and its tributaries cut through the high peaks of the eastern Ozarks. The geography is defined by a dense network of family-named peaks and hollows, including Tin Mine Mountain, Trackler Mountain, and Grainer Ridge. This 2011 survey records the intersection of industrial heritage and recreation, particularly at the Silver Mines Campground and Silver Mines Picnic Area near the Silver Mine Dam. Small settlements such as Lance, Oak Grove, and the uniquely named Creek Nation are documented alongside numerous family burial grounds like Royer Cemetery and Wilson Cemetery. Water features like Tiemann Shut-in and the Little Saint Francis River highlight the complex hydrology of this mineral-rich region.
