2017 Map of Montevallo

About this map

Montevallo and the surrounding rural communities of Olympia, Osiris, and Jerico Springs define this corner of Missouri where Vernon, Cedar, and Barton counties meet. The landscape is structured by a network of creeks including Horse Creek, Stinking Cr, and Cynthia Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of farms and cemeteries across the townships. Genealogists will find interest in several established burial grounds such as Walnut Grove Cem, Oldham Cem, and Brasher Cem, which serve as landmarks for the area's ancestral families. The map details a transition from the rolling drainage basins of Jordan Cr and Maples Br to the higher ground marked by long-standing county roads like Co Rd E and E Veteran Rd, illustrating how early settlement patterns were influenced by the proximity to reliable water and the essential routes connecting these dispersed hamlets.
