About this map

Minnith and Ozora anchor this rural landscape in Ste. Genevieve and Perry Counties, where a network of family-named hollows and ridges defines the settlement pattern. The terrain is marked by numerous small-scale water bodies and named drainages, including the distinctively titled Lake Minnie Ha-Ha Upper and Lake Minnie Ha-Ha Lower. A heavy emphasis on genealogical markers is evident through the scattered locations of family burial grounds like Roth Cem, Brown Cem, and Hand Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural history of the region.

Transport routes such as State Rte N and Ozora Outer Rd S follow the natural contours of the land, connecting disparate homesteads and farmsteads. Significant topographical features like Peach Tree Ridge and Graveyard Hill suggest a history of localized land use. The presence of Schoolhouse Hollow and Fish Trap Hollow provides insight into the early community functions and subsistence practices that once characterized this part of Missouri.
