Visiting
- Missouri State Parks says Taum Sauk Mountain State Park includes the state’s highest point and covers 7,500 acres in the St. Francois Mountains, with the address Highway CC, Ironton.
- The park page does not print the elevation, so the figure comes from the USGS booklet only.
What We Could Not Verify
The lowest point: the USGS table prints a figure that is higher than the highest point, which is an evident typo, so we give none.
