About this map

Portageville sits as the central hub of this Missouri Bootheel landscape, positioned where the New Madrid Co and Pemiscot Co borders meet. The area is defined by its deep agricultural grid and the significant drainage provided by Portage Open Bay, which meanders across the southern half of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, this survey is exceptionally dense with burial sites, showing nearly fifteen named cemeteries distributed across the rural township, from Meatte Cemetery in the north to Roher Cemetery further south.

Transportation corridors dominate the local geography, with Interstate 55 slicing through the center, connecting the smaller settlements of Jaywye and Conran with Portageville. The map also captures several smaller communities such as Hayward and De Lisle, alongside local aviation infrastructure at Penman Airport. The western edge is bordered by the Little River, illustrating the low-lying, water-managed character of this productive Delta region.
