2021 Map of Bell City
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Bell City serves as the focal point of this region in Southeast Missouri, situated at the edge of the rising terrain that characterizes the western portion of the map. The landscape transitions sharply from the low, water-carved bottomlands of the Little River and Mill Slough to the prominent elevations of Bird Hill, Cow Hill, and Lost Hill. This geological variation heavily influenced local settlement patterns, with communities like Perkins and Painton clustered near the foot of these hills. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family history markers, documenting numerous burial grounds such as Plainview Cem, Thomas Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The intricate drainage network, including Ash Slough and Crooked Slough, illustrates the complex hydrology of the bootheel region's western edge.
