About this map

The Saint Francois Mountains dominate this 2017 survey, where the Saint Francis River and the Little Saint Francis River converge. This portion of the Mark Twain National Forest is characterized by its high concentration of named peaks and hollows, including Rhodes Mountain, Pease Mtn, and Tin Mine Mtn. Local history is preserved in a network of family and community cemeteries such as Wilson Cem, Clubb Cem, and Ashlock Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and valleys.

Water-driven features provide a look at the region's physical geography and historical infrastructure, notably the Silver Mines Dam and the unique geological formation at Mud Creek Shut-in. The small settlements of Oak Grove and Creek Nation serve as focal points for the rural road network, which includes numerous forest routes like the Silver Mines Trail and Turkey Creek Trail weaving through the upland terrain.
