1978 Map of Steele
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Steele serves as the primary hub in this corner of the Missouri Bootheel, situated at a major junction of the St Louis-San Francisco railroad and modern highways. The landscape of the Little Prairie and Cooter townships is defined by a grid of agricultural drainages and small rural settlements like Holland and Cooter. Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in several family and community burial sites, including Hopkins Cem, Frakes Cem, and Mt Zion Cem. The area's mid-century infrastructure is visible through the Steele Municipal Airport, a Radio Tower, and various Rest Areas along the interstate corridor. Near the state line with Arkansas, landmarks such as Kings Chapel and Oak Ridge Ch anchor small farming communities, while natural water features like Pemiscot Bayou provide a contrast to the engineered irrigation and Sewage Disposal Ponds that support the local population.
