About this map

The agricultural landscape of Monroe County is defined by the winding course of the Elk Fork Salt River, which cuts diagonally across this central Missouri territory. The town of Madison serves as the primary hub, surrounded by a dense network of county roads that navigate the complex drainage systems of Allen Creek, Briar Creek, and Pedee Branch. Genealogy and local history are anchored by several notable burial grounds, including Sunset Hill Cemetery near the town center and more remote sites like Old Prairie Cemetery to the southwest.

Water management and rural infrastructure are visible in features such as the O'Bannon Dam on Allen Creek. The settlement of Holliday occupies the northeastern corner of the sheet, connected to the surrounding countryside by a grid of routes including Co RD-255 and Co RD-257. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring patterns of Missouri's river-bottom lands and the persistence of small-town landmarks in the modern era.
