2000 Map of Minnith

About this map

Saline Creek and its many winding tributaries define the topography of this corner of Missouri at the turn of the millennium. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as Peach Tree Ridge and Opossum Hollow, where small settlements like Minnith and Ozora are established. This 2000 revision shows the area's rural character preserved within the Mark Twain National Forest, balanced by active land use including several Quarries and the Peaceful Valley Camp. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites like Roth Cem, Brown Cem, and Hand Cem. The presence of Minnehaha Lake and Donze Lake provides a contrast to the heavily wooded terrain of the hollows.
