About this map

Bollinger Mill State Park and its landmark Covered Bridge anchor the northern landscape of this Missouri quadrangle, situated where the Whitewater River winds through the border of Bollinger and Cape Girardeau counties. The topography reflects a transition from the agricultural bottomlands near Burfordville to the complex water systems further south. Central to this area is a unique cluster of smaller reservoirs including Cypress Lake, Lake Cedar, and Little Pine Lake, alongside the larger Lake Girardeau which features a public Boat Ramp.

Rural life is meticulously documented through numerous family and community landmarks, such as Gravel Hill and the settlement of Crump. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds like McGuire Cem, Stoder Cem, and Young Cem. Transportation is defined by the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor and local routes like Dillard, connecting remote churches such as Bethlehem Ch and Barks Chapel across the rolling terrain.
