About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates this Missouri landscape, where the heavy extraction of the Lead Belt is evident through extensive industrial features. Large-scale mining operations define the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, notably at the Magmont Mine and the St Joe Shaft 38. These industrial sites are accompanied by a network of tailings ponds, sewage disposal facilities, and an Air Shaft, illustrating the intensive mineral production in the Ozark region during the late 20th century.

Local life is centered around small rural settlements like Viburnum, Bixby, and East End. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds and places of worship, including Indian Creek Cemetery, Abbott Cemetery, and Pleasant Grove Church. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainage systems such as Courtois Creek and the Middle Fork Black River, which dictate the placement of local landmarks like the West End School and the Viburnum Landing Strip.
