2015 Map of Powe
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Pyletown and the small agricultural crossroads of Powe, Cyrus, and Shreve define the human geography of this corner of the Missouri Bootheel. The landscape is characterized by a precise grid of county roads and drainage works such as Lateral Number 2 and the Main Ditch, reflecting the region's intensive reclamation for farming. Along the boundary of Stoddard Co Dunklin Co, the terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands of Otter Slough and Lick Creek in the northwest to the more elevated, dissected ground where several family and community burial sites are located. Genealogists will find a concentration of local history at McMurphy Cemetery, Stephens Cemetery, Sycamore Cemetery, and Mills Cemetery, which serve as quiet landmarks among the expansive fields of the Missouri Southeast Lowlands.
