About this map

Minnith and Ozora anchor this rural landscape in Sainte Genevieve County, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of hollows and ridges. The topography is notably marked by family and community history, evidenced by Roth Cemetery, Brown Cemetery, and Hand Cemetery located on Graveyard Hill. The drainage patterns of Saline Creek and the River aux Vases have shaped the settlement layout, with numerous small-scale dams and reservoirs like Donze Lake and Lake Minnie Ha-Ha Upper punctuating the valleys.

Transport routes follow the natural contours of the land, with Minnith Rd and Saline Creek Rd connecting the scattered homesteads. Significant elevation markers such as Peach Tree Ridge and High Knoll rise above the drainage basins of Cedar Fork and Little Saline Creek. The map also captures specialized land uses, including the Peaceful Valley Camp and named geographical features like Fish Trap Hollow and Devils Den Hollow, which speak to the long-standing local nomenclature of this Ozark borderland.
