2011 Map of Miller

About this map

Miller serves as the primary hub for this portion of Lawrence County, where a grid of rural routes connects isolated agricultural communities. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Stahl Creek, Truitt Creek, and the Sycamore Branch, which have carved out topographical features like Turner Hollow and Piper Hollow. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Sycamore Cemetery in the north and Henson Cemetery near the southern boundary. Small, named settlements such as Albatross, Heatonville, Call, and Stinson provide evidence of the area's late 20th-century distribution of crossroads commerce and local identity. The pattern of Farm Roads and numbered Lawrence County routes reflects a persistent reliance on overland transport through the fertile Missouri plains.
