The lay of the land in Monroe County
Amory, Nettleton, Hatley, and Smithville fill out the town list, and Aberdeen is where the county seat sits. Out in the countryside, Hamilton, New Hamilton, and Athens appear as small knots of lots along the road network. About 33,609 people lived in Monroe County in 2023, according to Census Bureau estimates, on roughly 765 square miles. Town lots in Aberdeen give way to farm tracts and woodlots within a mile or two, and the roads toward Gattman are lined with small acreage splits.
