2021 Map of Lentner

About this map

Clarence and Lentner anchor the northern landscape of this Shelby County region, where the historical alignment of Old US Hwy 36 parallels the modern roadway through a grid of agricultural section lines. This rural environment is defined by the drainage patterns of Crooked Cr and Briggs Br, which carve gentle relief into the prairie. Near the southern edge, the settlement of Maud sits along State Hwy TT, serving as a landmark for local family historians. The presence of Old Lake north of the main highway provides a rare perennial water feature in an area otherwise characterized by intermittent streams like Otter Cr and Ram Br. The map records a transition across the Shelby Co Monroe Co boundary, illustrating how local roads and state highways have shaped the connectivity of these Missouri farming communities into the twenty-first century.
