2015 Map of Sturdivant

About this map

The Upper Castor River and the Castor River Diversion Channel define the drainage of this southeast Missouri landscape, where the borders of Wayne, Bollinger, and Stoddard counties meet. Small settlements like Greenbrier, Sturdivant, and Kinder are connected by a network of county roads and former railroad alignments, including the Mo-P, Mo-K, and Mo-M. Several family and community burial sites, such as Cox Cemetery near Snake Bluff and Kimbrel Cemetery in the southern reaches, offer specific points of interest for genealogical research. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Fears Bluff and Grapevine Ridge, while the lowland areas are characterized by features such as Cato Slough and Duck Creek. The proximity of Idlewild and Eaglette to these waterways suggests a landscape historically shaped by both agricultural needs and the management of the regional river systems.
