About this map

Smithton and the western outskirts of Otterville anchor this 2014 mapping of the rolling Central Missouri borderlands between Pettis, Cooper, and Morgan Counties. The landscape is defined by its dense network of watercourses, with the Lamine River winding through the northeast and Flat Creek cutting across the southern reaches. Local family and place history is reflected in water features like Monsees Lake and Hermora Lake, alongside numerous small tributaries such as Shaver Cr and Harlan Br.

A notable connection to the region's mid-19th-century overland travel is preserved in the naming of Butterfield Stage RD, which traverses the hills north of Smithton. Modern land use remains largely agricultural, punctuated by local landmarks like the Smithton Cemetery and a grid of rural routes including Florence Rd and Boonville Rd, which maintain the historical orientation of these rural communities.
