1945 Map of Montier

About this map

Mountain View and Montier serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century survey of the Ozark landscape, connected by the St Louis San Francisco railroad line. The map reveals a dense network of rural community centers, particularly identified through a high concentration of country schools such as Congo Sch, Oak Ridge Sch, and Deep Water Sch. This educational infrastructure, paired with numerous churches like Ebenezer Ch and Bethlehem Ch, suggests a landscape defined by small, self-contained rural neighborhoods before the widespread consolidation of the post-war era.
