2015 Map of Stoutsville

About this map

Stoutsville and the surrounding Monroe County landscape are defined by the irregular shoreline of Mark Twain Lake, which dominates the southern and eastern portions of this map. This modern topography reveals a rural geography where older settlements like Clapper and Indian Creek persist alongside the expansive reservoir. The terrain is marked by numerous drainage ways, including Buck Creek, Deer Creek, and Shell Branch, which carve through the rolling uplands. For those researching local history, several burial sites are preserved here, such as Jeter Cemetery and Saint Andrews Cemetery. The map also identifies Leich Ford at the lake's edge, a name that recalls earlier river crossings before the valley was flooded. A network of county roads, such as Monroe Road 370 and Monroe Road 460, provides the primary infrastructure for this agricultural and recreational region.
