The Rockpile Mountain Wilderness is a wilderness area in the U.S. state of Missouri in Mark Twain National Forest . It takes its name from an ancient circle of granite rock, piled by some earlier man on top of the mountain. ^[1] The namesake rock pile most likely was an Indian cairn . ^[2] It is located in Madison County, Missouri , southeast of Bell Mountain and southwest of Fredericktown, Missouri . The area is primarily a broken ridge, having steep rocky slopes running from Little Grass Mountain on the north to the National Forest boundary four miles to the south. ^[3]
