About this map

Apple Creek meanders eastward toward its confluence with the Mississippi River, serving as a natural boundary between Perry and Cape Girardeau counties. This riverfront landscape is defined by the high bluffs of the Shawnee and Brazeau regions, overlooking a complex of islands and chutes including Grand Tower Island and the Tower Island Chute. Small rural communities and schoolhouses like High Hill Sch and Oak Hill Sch are scattered throughout the hills, connected by winding roads that predate modern straightening.
