2017 Map of Monticello

About this map

The North Fabius River and Middle Fabius River wind through the heart of Lewis County, creating a rolling agricultural landscape defined by watercourses and small rural centers. The northern settlement of Monticello serves as a focal point near the Monticello Bridge, while Ewing anchors the southern portion of the map near Ewing Lake. This 2017 survey reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by numerous family-named burial grounds such as Briscoe Cem, Cason Cem, and Garnett Cem scattered among the farmsteads. The local infrastructure is further marked by the Lewis County Regional Airport and several river crossings, including the Weston Bridge and Steele Bridge. The spatial arrangement of towns like Tolona and Sellers illustrates the persistent rural character of this Northeast Missouri region, where local transport still relies on a network of state highways and county roads like State Hwy BB.
