2015 Map of Montier

About this map

Birch Tree and Montier anchor this Ozark landscape along the northern edge of the Shannon Co Oregon Co border. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by deep topographic drainage basins, most notably Fly Blow Hollow and Panther Hollow, which feed into the meandering paths of Birch Cr and Spring Cr. While the modern Route 60 cuts a straight line through the northern sections, traces of the regional history remain visible in the winding path of Old Highway 60. For those researching local families, the map provides precise locations for several rural burial grounds, including Brown Cemetery and New Salem Cemetery, as well as the Bethlehem Cemetery located near the southern boundary. The landscape is a classic example of southern Missouri karst topography, with significant elevations like High Hill overlooking a network of county roads that connect remote homesteads and valleys.
