About this map

The Saint Francois Mountains dominate this 2017 survey area, where the rugged terrain of southeastern Missouri meets the agricultural valleys near Farmington. Significant elevation changes are marked by peaks like Knob Lick Mtn and Wachita Mountain, while the Saint Francis River winds through the central corridor. Historical burial sites are well-preserved in the record, including the Doe Run Memorial Cem near the settlement of Doe Run and the O'Bannon Cem further south.

Industrial and natural landmarks are interspersed throughout the landscape, from the Klondike Hill to the protected acreage of the Mark Twain National Forest. The transition from the more settled northern reaches of Farmington to the timbered reaches of The Flatwoods reflects the area's diverse land use. Smaller communities like Syenite remain documented alongside older place names such as Seego Hollow and Wildcat Hollow.
