2011 Map of Latham

About this map

The unincorporated community of Latham serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Moniteau County. Settled within a complex network of creek drainages, the area is defined by the headwaters and branches of North Moreau Creek, Burris Fork, and the curiously named Turkey Trot Creek. The road network follows the undulating terrain, with routes like State Hwy E and Lick Fork Rd connecting scattered farmsteads and residential clusters like Wilderness Acres. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including the Moreau Cemetery, Latham Cemetery, and Highland Cemetery. The map also preserves the memory of local education through the naming of Westview School Rd, indicating the former site of a rural schoolhouse that once anchored the surrounding farming community.
