About this map

St Francis River meanders through the heart of this landscape, defining the boundary between Butler and Dunklin counties in the Missouri Bootheel. The waterway's complex history is visible in features like the Old Channel and the Wilhelmina Cutoff, reflecting efforts to manage the river's flow through the low-lying terrain. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Wilhelmina State Forest, while several small agricultural communities dot the surrounding plains.

Local history is concentrated in the namesake settlement of Glennonville and nearby Wilhelmina, which grew out of early 20th-century Catholic colonizing efforts in the region. Other identifiable sites include Qulin, Osborn, and the Holmes Place, offering a record of rural life before late-century consolidation. To the west, the ground rises toward Ash Hill, providing a subtle shift from the drainage patterns of Fish Trap Slough.
