2010 Map of Point Pleasant

About this map

The Mississippi River meanders through this portion of the Missouri Bootheel, defining a landscape of shifting channels, towheads, and river landings. In the first decade of the 21st century, the river's influence is clear through features like Toneys Chute, Point Pleasant Chute, and Tiptonville Chute. These waterways isolate landforms such as Island Number 11 and the prominent Slough Landing Neck. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous family-named burial sites including Le Sieur Cemetery, Yount Cemetery, and Creviosur Cemetery. The local economy and transport history are represented by traditional river access points such as Darnall Landing, Batesell Landing, and the Tiptonville Ferry crossing. Inland, the terrain is marked by Scrub Ridge and Barnes Ridge, while Portage Open Bay cuts through the low-lying plains west of the river.
