USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The Mississippi River creates a dynamic eastern boundary for this survey of Perry and Cape Girardeau counties, characterized by a dense network of Lutheran-influenced settlements and family-named schools. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Apple Creek, which separates the townships of Brazeau and Shawnee. Central to the area are the historic communities of Altenburg, Frohna, and Wittenberg, reflecting a distinct 19th-century settlement pattern that persists into the mid-20th century.
