  • Fort Leonard Wood Missouri
    DCN: 9222 FORT LEONARD WOOD MISSOURI LOCATION Fort Leonard Wood is located in central Missouri, about 120 miles southwest of St. Louis, Missouri, and 85 miles northeast of Springfield, Missouri along the I-44 corridor. The installation occupies the southwestern portion of Pulaski County, with small portions in Texas and Laclede counties. Fort Leonard Wood is located in a predominantly rural area, and is bordered on all sides by portions of the Mark Twain National Forest. Rural areas not included in the Rolla-Houston unit of the Forest are in agricultural use, primarily pasture for grazing. Development of the region adjacent to the installation is concentrated in the small towns of Waynesville and St. Robert located on the northern border of the installation and straddling Business Loop I-44, which was formerly U.S. Route 66. The installation can be divided into two topographic regions known as the Low Plains and High Plains. The High Plains, consisting of gently to moderately rolling dissected surfaces and comprise approximately 80 percent of the reservation. Slopes are largely 8 to 15 percent, but can reach 45 percent and greater along bluffs and deeply incised tributaries. Steep, deeply dissected surfaces are prominent adjacent to alluvial stream valleys in the northeast and western portions of the installation. The Low Plains area is characterized by major stream valleys and a ridge, which traverses the north central to south central portions of Fort Leonard Wood. These areas have level to gently rolling, moderately dissected topography. Slopes are largely between 0 and 3 percent, but may reach 15 percent in moderately dissected stream valleys and the south-central region of the installation.
