About this map

Steelville serves as the focal point of this Crawford County landscape, where the town grid meets the rolling hills and river valleys of the eastern Ozarks. The community's local history is anchored by the Steelville Cem, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small family burial grounds like Moultray Cem, Schweider Cem, and Eaton Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research. The Meramec River flows through the northwest, joined by tributaries such as Whittenburg Cr and Yadkin Cr.

Significant portions of the terrain are preserved within the Mark Twain National Forest, illustrating the region's balance between wild forest land and agricultural holdings. Former rail infrastructure is hinted at by Frisco St, reflecting the transportation history that once linked settlements like Birds Nest and Patsy to larger Missouri markets. Numerous natural springs, including Evans Spring and Collins Spring, highlight the hydrologic character of this limestone-rich environment.
