2015 Map of Steelville

About this map

Steelville serves as the primary hub of this Crawford County landscape, where the Meramec River and Whittenburg Cr wind through the hills. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of the town to vast tracts of the Mark Twain National Forest, particularly in the northeastern and southeastern corners of the quadrangle. Local genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites, such as the Moultray Cemetery, Edwards Cemetery, and Eaton Cemetery. The map also captures several springs, including Big Spring and Collins Spring, which have long defined the water resources of the region. Transportation routes from the established Steelville grid extend toward smaller localities like Midland, Elaver, and the remote Lead Branch Junction. Water features like Helmering Farms Lake and Carden Lake provide a clear view of how land use and water management have shaped this Ozark territory in the twenty-first century.
