About this map

The Lead Belt of the Missouri Ozarks defines the landscape here, centered on the mining town of Viburnum and neighboring Bixby. This terrain is marked by industrial water management features like the Old Viburnum Tailings Pond and Magmont Main Tailings Lake, reflecting the region's deep ties to mineral extraction. In contrast to these large-scale operations, the map documents numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Upper Indian Creek Cem and Crocker Cem, providing essential data for genealogists tracking local history.

Dense woodland within the Mark Twain National Forest is carved by a complex network of hollows, including Payne Hollow and Gunstock Hollow. These drainages feed into waterways like the Middle Fork Black River and Courtois Cr. The small settlement of Good Water sits along the northern reaches, while the Viburnum Airport and Iron Co Road 1 serve as the primary infrastructure connecting these remote mountain communities.
