2017 Map of Portageville

About this map

Portageville stands as the primary hub in this corner of the Missouri Bootheel, situated at the intersection of local routes and the modern Interstate 55 corridor. The landscape is defined by the flat, fertile alluvial plains typical of the region, where the Little River meanders to the west and the Portage Open Bay cuts across the southern portion of the sheet. This area shows a dense concentration of rural family and community history, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries including Branham Cem, Crabtree Cem, and Kimes Cem that dot the outskirts of town and the surrounding fields.
