About this map

Montier and the outskirts of Birch Tree anchor this 2017 survey of the Missouri Ozarks, capturing the rural landscape where Shannon and Oregon counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, including the curiously named Fly-Blow Hollow, Panther Hollow, and Pine Hollow, which drain into the meandering courses of Birch Creek and Spring Creek.

Local history is preserved in the placement of several rural burial grounds, such as Bethlehem Cemetery and New Salem Cemetery, which sit alongside established routes like Old Highway 60 and State Highway T. This map provides a modern look at long-standing settlement patterns, from the high ground of High Hill to the scattered homesteads and ranches that line the county roads spidering across the timbered ridges.
