2011 Map of Harviell

About this map

Harviell serves as a central hub in this corner of Butler County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and waterways. The map illustrates a transition from the structured residential blocks of Kelly Town and Vinegar Hill in the north to the more rural, aquatic environments of the south. Water management is a dominant theme, evidenced by the prominent Craven Ditch and Harviell Ditch which cut across the terrain to manage the flow toward Pike Slough. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Black Creek Cemetery, Memorial Gardens Cemetery, and the more isolated Dunning Cemetery near the western edge. The presence of Ashcroft Addition and Alfrey near the Black River corridor highlights the early 21st-century residential footprint of the area surrounding Poplar Bluff.
