About this map

Upper Whitewater Creek and the Little Whitewater Creek dominate this landscape near the Bollinger and Cape Girardeau county line. The settlement pattern is defined by historic water crossings and small rural communities like Millersville, Kurreville, Hartle Ford, and Reynolds Ford. This area is exceptionally dense with family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research into the region's early residents.

Landmarks such as Devils Backbone and Cave Hill stand out against the creek-carved terrain, while smaller tributaries like Caney Fork and Wolf Creek weave through the rural sections. These watercourses historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads, many of which are marked by namesake cemeteries like Schmidt Cemetery, Wise Cemetery, and the Old Niswonger Cemetery. The presence of the Prince Airport on the eastern edge reflects the modern evolution of transport in this otherwise traditionally agricultural Missouri corridor.
