2021 Map of Broseley
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
The Saint Francis River serves as the eastern boundary for this part of Butler County, winding through a landscape defined by an extensive drainage system. Historically reliant on the management of wetlands, the area is crisscrossed by numerous channels including Ditch Number 16 and Ditch Number 21. These engineering efforts supported the growth of small agricultural hubs such as Broseley, Rossville, and Batesville. The map captures several family and community landmarks, most notably Browns Chapel Cem, Mole Hill Cem, and Vale Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this region of the Missouri Bootheel. Along the river, natural river features like Upper Shoals and Lower Shoals suggest the historical navigation challenges and local fishing spots that once defined river life before modern channelization.
