2021 Map of Pinnacle Lake

About this map

Big Spring and its surrounding rural community serve as a focal point for this section of Missouri, where the Loutre River and its numerous tributaries like Whippoorwill Cr have carved a landscape of significant relief. The area is marked by a deep-seated genealogy, evidenced by the high density of family-named burial sites including the Niedergerke Cem, Snethen Cem, and Patton Cem. These locations, often situated near country churches like the Liberty Baptist Church, provide critical data points for researchers tracing the early settlement patterns of Montgomery County.
