2012 Map of Cape Girardeau NE

About this map

Leemon and Oriole anchor this rural landscape in Cape Girardeau County, where a network of county roads connects scattered family homesteads and local landmarks. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Iron Hill, Tricky Hill, and Grassy Knob, which overlook a complex drainage system of small creeks. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the area, such as Darby Cemetery and Heuer Cemetery, often situated near historic property boundaries or along the banks of Indian Creek. Water management is evident in the northern reaches with Number 819 Dam forming Bella Vista Lake and Lipps Dam creating Lipps Lake. The map reveals a transition toward more concentrated residential development in the south, notably around the North Hills Estate Subdivision Lake, while the remainder of the area maintains its traditional agricultural and woodland character.
