About this map

Minnith sits at the heart of this landscape, where the rugged terrain of Ste. Genevieve Co and Perry Co is defined by an intricate network of hollows and ridges. This area, largely encompassed by the Mark Twain National Forest, features significant water bodies including Saline Creek and the River Aux Vases in the north. The drainage pattern has dictated the location of small settlements like Ozora and numerous family-named sites.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the scattered burial grounds, such as Roth Cemetery, Voelker Cemetery, and the appropriately named Graveyard Hill. The map also reveals the localized nomenclature of the Ozark foothills, from Peach Tree Ridge to the deep recesses of Devils Den Hollow and Opossum Hollow. This survey preserves the connectivity of the era, showing rural routes like Minnith Rd and Kramer Rd that link these isolated valleys and ridges.
