2017 Map of Otterville West

About this map

Smithton serves as the primary hub in this central Missouri landscape, where the town layout is clearly defined alongside the Smithton Cem. The geography is defined by a high concentration of watercourses and minor drainages, including Flat Creek, Lake Creek, and the headwaters of the Lamine River in the northeast. The transport network reflects a transition from historic overland routes to modern access, most notably preserved in the name of Butterfield Stage RD, which cuts across the northern half of the survey. Small impoundments like Hermosa Lake and Monsees Lake dot the western reaches, while the Pettis, Cooper, and Morgan county lines intersect in the southeast, creating a complex border area. Rural life is anchored by a grid of named roads like White School RD and Rattlesnake Hill RD, which trace the high ground between the various creek branches.
