Klondike Hill

Klondike Hill is a summit in southern St. Francois County in the U.S. state of Missouri. The summit has an elevation of 1,020 feet (310 m).[1] The broad hill lies about three miles southeast of Doe Run and Doe Run Creek flows past its north and east sides to enter the St. Francis River just southeast of the hill. Wachita Mountain lies adjacent to the southwest. Missouri Route AA traverses across the hill from northeast to southwest.[2]

Klondike Hill takes its name from Klondike, Yukon, since this area of St. Francois County was also a mining center.[3]
