2021 Map of Harviell

About this map

Poplar Bluff anchor this landscape, where the southern edge of the city gives way to the drainage systems of the upper Mississippi Embayment. The transition from urban streets like W Victor St and Ashcroft Rd to the agricultural lowlands is marked by a complex network of water management, including Craven Ditch, Harviell Ditch, and the winding Pike Slough. These waterways are critical to the low-lying terrain south of Harviell and Angus, where the land is punctuated by family and community landmarks such as Black Creek Creek Cem, Friendship Cem, and Dunning Cem. The Union Pacific RR corridor and S Westwood Blvd serve as the primary north-south arteries, paralleling the older path of the Old Chisolm Trl. This area reflects a long history of managing the wetlands of the Black River basin for transit and agriculture.
