2021 Map of Powe

About this map

Pyletown and Powe anchor this landscape in southern Stoddard County, where the lowlands of the Missouri Bootheel meet a network of drainage infrastructure. The terrain is defined by engineered waterways like Lateral Number 2 and the Main Ditch, which work alongside natural features such as Otter Slough and Lick Creek to manage the area's hydrology. The map reveals a high concentration of historic burial sites throughout the central ridge, including Summer Cem, Sycamore Cem, Stephens Cem, McMurphy Cem, and Mills Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians. North of the Stoddard Co / Dunklin Co line, the rural road grid connects these dispersed settlements and cemeteries, centered around local landmarks like Pyle Town Lake.
