About this map

The heavy industry of the Missouri Lead Belt is unmistakable in the landscape surrounding Viburnum, where multiple large-scale impoundments like the New Viburnum Tailings Pond and Viburnum Tailings Disposal A Reservoir sit alongside the town. This 2015 survey reveals a complex interface between mining operations and the preservation of the Mark Twain National Forest, with Ore Haul Rd cutting through the timber to support the region's extraction economy.

Away from the industrial centers, the map documents a network of rural settlements including Good Water, East End, and Bixby. For genealogists, the landscape is punctuated by numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, such as the Crocker Cemetery, Abbott Cemetery, and Thompson Cemetery. The terrain is defined by a dense system of hollows, including Mason Hollow and Wolf Pen Hollow, which feed into watercourses like Indian Cr and the Middle Fork Black River.
