moderate radon potential

EPA predicts an average indoor level between 2 and 4 pCi/L, so the EPA recommends testing, because elevated levels are still found in some homes here.

Drought status

Abnormally dry in 79.2% of the county

Drought Severity and Coverage Index 79.2 of 500.

Map of 13 October 2026.

Sources: EPA Map of Radon Zones (September 2025), EPA Air Quality Index (2024) and the U.S. Drought Monitor. A radon zone is a regional planning tool, not a prediction for any individual home — the EPA recommends testing every home regardless of zone. Air quality is shown only for counties that host an EPA monitor. Drought figures describe one weekly map, not a long-term climate average. Compare counties in Missouri.

Where the data comes from

Property records and tax maps in Moniteau County

Most people who look up Moniteau County GIS data are after parcel-level records: who owns a property, what it last sold for, and what it is assessed at. Those records are kept locally, not federally, so they are not part of this map. Moniteau County property and tax map data lives with the county's own records office, and what that office is called varies by state — Texas counties run an appraisal district (usually searched as a “CAD”), Kentucky uses a Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), and most other states use a county assessor, auditor or tax office. Start with that office for a deed, a tax map number or a parcel boundary; use the map above for flood zones, elevation and land cover on the same land.
