Little Dixie Highway

Pike County, MO        Pike County is located about an hour's drive north of St. Louis and lies between the Mississippi River and the northeast plains of Missouri. The eastern region that borders the Mississippi is dominated by the Lincoln Hills, an area that resembles the rugged and forested hills of the Ozarks. The Great River Road, MO-79, through this region has been designated the Little Dixie Highway of the Great River Road, a National Scenic Byway, as it travels over the bluffs and visits the river towns of Clarksville and Louisiana.
