2015 Map of Steele

About this map

Steele serves as the central hub of this Missouri-Arkansas border region, where an intricate network of drainage systems like Ditch Number 3, Ditch Number 5, and the Old Franklin Ditch has reshaped the low-lying terrain of Pemiscot County. The landscape is dotted with family and community landmarks, including Hopkins Cemetery, Frakes Cemetery, and Mount Zion Cemetery, which offer valuable coordinates for genealogical research. Smaller settlements such as Gibson, Cooter, and Holland anchor the surrounding agricultural blocks, while Holbert Corner and Acorn Corner mark specific rural junctions. Near the western edge, Pemiscot Bayou Lake and the meandering Pemiscot Bayou provide a natural contrast to the rigid grid of county roads. The presence of the Steele Municipal Airport and multiple cemetery sites like Barnard Cemetery and Number 8 Cemetery underscores a settled, lived-in landscape defined by both its transport infrastructure and its long-standing local history.
