About this map

The Meramec River flows through the northwest corner of this Crawford County landscape, where the settlement of Steelville serves as a central hub. This survey illustrates a rural community anchored by its public institutions and industrial history, notably the Steelville R-3 High Sch and the Midland Mine to the north. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including Yackey Cem and the Center Point Ch, reflecting a deep-rooted social fabric that spans from the riverbanks to the interior highlands.

Conservation and forest management define much of the southern and eastern territory, with large tracts dedicated to the Mark Twain National Forest and the Reysville State Wildlife Management Area. Water sources like Whittenburg Creek, Collins Spring, and Evans Spring punctuate the valleys, while the Keysville Lookout Tower provides a strategic vantage point over the wooded ridges. Smaller locales such as Sankey, Elayer, and Patsy appear alongside a network of country churches like Coffee Ch and Straightway Ch.
