About this map

Olean and the surrounding rural uplands of Miller and Moniteau Counties are defined by a rolling landscape of creek valleys and scattered hilltop settlements. The area is heavily intersected by local road networks including Mo-Oo and Mo-CC, which connect family-named properties and agricultural tracts. A significant concentration of burial grounds, such as High Point Cemetery and Greenridge Cemetery, suggests long-standing community roots centered around the small crossroads of High Point and the village of Olean.

Water drainage is a dominant geographic feature, with S Moreau Cr and its tributaries like Blythes Cr carving the terrain into distinct ridges and bottoms. To the south, Pleasant Mount sits near the headwaters of the local drainage system, while landmarks like Walker Cemetery and Gray Cemetery are situated on elevated ground between the creek beds, providing a clear picture of the historical settlement patterns that favored these high points for both dwellings and memorials.
