2017 Map of McGee

About this map

McGee serves as the central settlement in this region of southeast Missouri, situated at the edge of where the Ozark foothills meet the alluvial plains. To the south, the landscape shifts dramatically as it enters the Mingo Swamp and the protected environment of Monopoly Marsh, marked by Gumstump Pool and Pool Eight. These lowlands contrast sharply with the ridged terrain to the north, characterized by features like Cow Knoll Ridge and Lurker Hollow. Genealogy researchers will find several localized burial sites, including Wilfong Cem, De Celis Cem, and Richman Cem, which are scattered among family-named landmarks like Manning Cabin Hollow. The water network is particularly dense here, with McGee Cr, Brush Cr, and Rocky Cr draining the northern heights into the southern basin. The map captures a transition point in geography where the hills and hollows give way to the vast wetland systems of the Castor River watershed.
