About Edward Anderson Conservation Area
This is a forested area in the Mississippi River Hills that offers some of the most rugged terrain in Northeast Missouri. The area is located on the Little Dixie National Scenic By-way, MO-79 and offers excellent fall color in October. From Hannibal, take MO-79 south 10 miles.

In 1963, Edward Anderson, a local landowner, donated the original acreage for this area to the Conservation Department. Later, purchases by the Department brought the area to its present size of 1,045 acres.

This conservation area was acquired in part through the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Several small, intermittent streams traverse the hilly terrain and drain into the Mississippi River. Although the area is bordered by 2.3 miles of Mississippi River, access to the river is limited.

Two large sinkholes are located about one-half mile northeast of the tower site, which is adjacent to Highway 79, about one mile north of Hallows Roadside Park.

The highest point in Ralls County (804 feet) is found in the area.

During your visit to the area, you may view forest improvement practices designed to improve tree growth and wildlife habitat. Any aesthetic disturbance is only temporary. From Edward Anderson Conservation Area webpage
