2017 Map of Monett

About this map

Monett straddles the county line between Lawrence and Barry counties, serving as a regional hub defined by its organized grid and multiple cemeteries. Local history is deeply etched into the landscape at sites like Oakdale Cem, Mount Calvary Cem, and Saint Johns Cem, which cluster near the town's northern and eastern edges. To the west, the smaller settlement of Pierce City sits at the headwaters of the regional drainage system, where Clear Cr and Dry Valley Br begin their courses through the Ozark plateau. The rural sections of the quadrangle are marked by a dense network of county roads, such as Lawrence 2210 and Farm RD 2030, connecting outlying homesteads and family burial grounds like Cox Cem and Carlin Cem. The hydrological pattern is shaped by numerous spring-fed branches including Pruitt Br and Hewlett Br, which drain the undulating terrain surrounding the municipal centers.
