2012 Map of Wardell

About this map

Wardell and its neighboring communities in Pemiscot County are defined by a strictly surveyed grid of drainage ditches and county roads that transformed this section of the Bootheel into productive farmland. The Little River meanders through the northern section, its natural path contrasting with the engineered precision of the surrounding landscape. Small residential clusters and agricultural hubs like North Wardell, Homestown, and Pascola are connected by a network of thoroughfares including Co HWY-218 and Co HWY-244. Genealogy and local history are anchored by several community burial sites, such as the Wardell Memorial Cemetery and Ingram Ridge Cemetery. The map also identifies smaller named locales such as Ewells, Terry, and Netherlands, reflecting the dense settlement pattern of this rural Missouri region.
