About this map

La Monte serves as the primary hub in this western Missouri landscape, situated near the intersection of several local routes such as La Monte Rd and N Main St. The town's layout and surrounding rural sections are defined by a network of agricultural roads and waterways, including the winding South Fork Blackwater River and its various tributaries like Brushy Cr and Little Muddy Cr. For those researching local families, La Monte Cem and County Line Cem are significant landmarks, the latter marking the boundary between Johnson and Pettis counties.

The northern reaches of the quadrangle transition into the smaller settlement of Stokley, where rural life is shaped by the drainage patterns of Elk Cr and Bee Br. The survey illustrates a well-connected countryside where long-established road names like W Prairie Grove Rd and Beaverdam Rd follow the terrain of the Beaverdam Cr valley, documenting the persistent intersection of regional hydrology and human transport.
