2012 Map of Mantee

About this map

Mantee and Dancy anchor this section of Webster County, situated within a landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Big Black River and its numerous tributaries. The geography here is a complex drainage network where Line Cr and Old Field Cr meander through the central plains toward the larger river system. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating family burial sites across the rural countryside, including Mount Pleasant Cem, Wake Forest Cem, and Pisgah Cem. The prominent Choctaw Ridge rises in the southwest, providing a distinct topographical contrast to the low-lying basins of Johnson Cr and Flat Cr. The settlement pattern follows a grid of county roads that connect these small communities and isolated farmsteads, many of which are centered around Mantee Lake and the small hamlet of Sheba.
