2012 Map of Mountain Grove South

About this map

Prior and Goodville anchor the rural landscape of southern Missouri in this 2012 topographic record. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Whetstone Creek and Fox Creek, which carve through the terrain south of Mountain Grove. Land use is reflected in the distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Strunk Cemetery, Livingston Cemetery, and Prior Cemetery, providing valuable data for genealogical research in this portion of Douglas County. The northern edge of the map features the Mountain Grove Memorial Airport and Lily Lake, marking the transition from the city's outskirts into the more remote forested and agricultural lands. Prominent natural features like Bald Knob Mountain stand out against the drainage basins of Clifty Creek and its western prong, showing the complex topography that has shaped settlement patterns and road placements like Highway ZZ over decades.
