La Belle, MO

united states

La Belle is a small farming town in northeast Missouri's Lewis County, about 25 miles from the Mississippi River. Take US 61 north from Hannibal, then Route 16 west, or approach from US 36 via Edina and Route 15 south. The rolling agricultural landscape features corn and soybean fields under typical Midwest continental weather. Plan EV charging in Hannibal or other larger towns before arrival. The town still operates one of Missouri's few working one-room schoolhouses for local elementary students.
