2015 Map of Glennonville

About this map

The Saint Francis River winds through the Missouri Bootheel, defining the boundary between Butler and Dunklin counties. This landscape is a testament to the massive drainage efforts of the early 20th century, where engineered waterways like Ditch Number 31, Ditch Number 34, and Ditch Number 37 transformed former wetlands into productive agricultural territory. Smaller communities and family-named locales are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Qulin, Glennonville, and Wilhelmina, reflecting the late-era settlement patterns of the region. Local researchers will find specific interest in named sites such as Holmes Place and McElyea Place, which appear alongside remnant natural features like Fish Trap Slough. The intricate network of county roads, including Mo-CC and Mo-JJ, connects these small rural hubs across the flat alluvial plain.
