1989 Map of Rolla

About this map

The Ozark Plateau and the ancient granite peaks of the St Francois Mountains dominate this late-twentieth-century landscape, capturing a region defined by its protected waterways and timberlands. The survey highlights the significant footprint of Fort Leonard Wood in the west, while the eastern portion reveals the complex mineral and timber country around Potosi, Ironton, and Fredericktown. Large-scale water management and recreation are evident at Lake Wappapello and Clearwater Lake, alongside the preservation of free-flowing streams within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.
