2011 Map of Montevallo

About this map

Montevallo and its surrounding rural prairie and creek bottoms in Vernon County are documented here through a network of gravel roads and winding watercourses. This landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Horse Creek and Stinking Creek, where numerous small tributaries like Wieland Branch and Mill Branch carve through the agricultural terrain. The settlement pattern is sparse, composed of small community centers such as Olympia, Osiris, and Zodiac, which serve as quiet landmarks among the expansive fields. For those tracing local heritage, the inclusion of Oldham Cemetery and Brasher Cemetery provides critical geographic anchors for family history. The presence of West Independence at the southern edge suggests a historical lineage of small Missouri townships tied to the land and local road systems like Co Line Rd and NE 100th Rd.
