2017 Map of Mountain Grove South

About this map

Mountain Grove serves as the primary population center at the northern edge of this Ozark plateau landscape, where the town grid gives way to the winding drainage basins of the southern Missouri hills. The terrain is defined by the deep dissection of several waterways, including Whetstone Cr, Fox Cr, and the multiple branches of Clifty Cr. These valleys dictate the placement of rural corridors like State Hwy ZZ and State Hwy AE, which snake through the topography rather than following a rigid section line. Local family history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the county line area, such as Strunk Cem and Livingston Cem. To the south, the landscape transitions into the protected acreage of the Mark Twain National Forest, while the presence of the Mountain Grove Memorial Airport near the town center highlights the area's modern infrastructure.
