2021 Map of Montier

About this map

Montier and the western edge of Birch Tree anchor this rural landscape in the Ozark highlands of southern Missouri. The area is defined by a dense network of local county roads, such as Co RD 655, and state routes that wind through the hills and hollows. The settlement pattern is characterized by numerous small family and community burial grounds, including the Brown - DePriest Cem and the Old Baptist Cem. This 2021 survey reveals a landscape of high ridges and deep drainages, with High Hill rising above the surrounding terrain. Waterways like Spring Cr and Birch Cr carve through the topography, while landmarks such as Rough Hollow and Pine Hollow indicate the varied natural relief that has influenced local transit and land use for generations. The map also documents the transition from Shannon Co into Oregon Co to the south, highlighting the administrative boundaries of these timber-rich counties.
