About this map

Lake Wappapello and the meandering Saint Francis River dominate this portion of Wayne County, Missouri, during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the river’s broad floodplain and the finger-like inlets of the lake, punctuated by high points such as Flynn Hill and Halls Bluff. Human settlement patterns are tied closely to the topography, with small communities like Holliday Landing and Kime established near the water's edge.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family burial grounds, including the Old Greenville Cemetery, Sloan Cemetery, and Stephens Cemetery. The presence of both the Cut Lookout Tower and Lost Creek Lookout Tower underscores the forested nature of the terrain. The transition from the flowing river to the reservoir creates a unique environment where landmarks like Davidsons Blue Spring and the Greenville Bridge serve as significant geographic markers.
