Stono Mountain
Stono Mountain is a summit in St. Francois County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] The mountain rises to an elevation of 1,644 feet (501 m).[2] Mineral City lies along the headwaters of Doe Run Creek just to the east on Missouri Route W and Little Stono Mountain lies to the north.[2]
Stono Mountain possibly takes its name from the Stono River in South Carolina, although folk etymology maintains stones in the area caused the name to be selected.[3]
