2011 Map of Burtville

About this map

Burtville and Owsley anchor this rural landscape in Johnson County, where a dense network of country roads connects family farms and local institutions. The area is defined by the winding course of the Clear Fork Blackwater River in the northwest and the sprawling drainage of Muddy Creek to the southeast. Local education and community life are marked by the presence of the Prairie Home School and Eldorado School, reflecting the traditional organization of Missouri’s rural townships. The northern portion of the quadrangle features recreational and community landmarks such as Camp Red Cedar, Camp Bob White, and Lake Buteo. Transportation and aviation history are represented by the Lake Sexton Airport and multiple landing strips, while the Ellis Cemetery serves as a significant site for genealogical research in this part of the state.
