2012 Map of Stoutsville

About this map

Stoutsville and the surrounding Monroe County landscape are defined by the extensive reaches of Mark Twain Lake, which dominates the southern half of this modern topographical study. The topography reveals a transition from traditional agricultural land to a complex riparian environment shaped by the creation of the reservoir. To the north, small settlements like Clapper and Indian Creek persist among a network of rural routes such as Co RD-511 and Co RD-486. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Andrews Cemetery and Jeter Cemetery, while the hydrological landscape is fed by numerous tributaries including Buck Creek, Deer Creek, and Shell Branch. Significant river crossings, such as the Fishtrap Bridge and the uniquely named Kitty Wheelin Ford, provide specific points of interest for those tracing the historical movement and development patterns of this part of Missouri.
