STONE QUARRIES IN
MISSOURI

Missouri's 198 quarries extract from some of America's finest limestone deposits, with the Burlington-Keokuk formations producing high-quality crushed stone and dimension products. The Show-Me State sits at the confluence of major geological provinces, from the Ozark Plateau's dolomites to the Missouri River valley's alluvial materials. Ste. Genevieve County has been a limestone quarrying center since the 1800s, producing stone that helped build St. Louis. Today, Missouri quarries serve the central U.S. construction market and produce specialty products including industrial lime and high-purity limestone for chemical applications.
