About this map

Americus sits at the heart of this Montgomery County landscape, where the Loutre River and its numerous tributaries like Prairie Fork and Dry Fork carve a complex network of valleys. The terrain is marked by significant local landmarks such as Graveyard Hill and Possum Hollow, reflecting a long-settled rural character. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting numerous family and community burial sites including Bryant Cem, Senethem Cem, and Kendrick Cem scattered across the countryside.

Water features define much of the area's geography, from the Loutre Valley Lake in the north to the Allgeyer Lake and Number 224 Reservoir further south. The drainage pattern, including smaller runs like Dishwater Cr and Lichte Br, dictates the winding paths of local routes such as State Hwy K and Rivertrail Rd, which connect the dispersed farmsteads and historic land tracts of this Missouri interior.
