About this map

The unincorporated community of Latham sits near the heart of this Moniteau County landscape, where the headwaters of numerous Missouri streams begin their descent toward the Missouri River. The terrain is defined by the branching networks of North Moreau Creek, Straight Fork, and Burris Fork, which carve narrow valleys through the agricultural uplands. This area maintains a strong rural character, evidenced by the network of local roads named for early families and community landmarks, such as Chicken House Rd and Moser Rd.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the township, with several historic burial grounds like Moreau Cem and Highland Cem preserved among the fields. The road network also hints at vanished local institutions through names like Westview School Rd, Brick School Rd, and Bethel Church Rd. The southern portion of the map shows the boundary between Moniteau and Morgan counties near the winding course of Lick Cr.
