Mayfield is an unincorporated community in the central part of Scopus Township in Bollinger County, Missouri, United States, approximately 4.5 miles west of the Cape Girardeau County line.[1] [2]
The community was located along a small tributary of the Little Whitewater Creek and Mayfield Creek flows past approximately three-quarters of a mile to the south.[3]
Mayfield had been named by W.H. Mayfield, who had established the post office in 1886.[4] A number of post offices came and went over the years: 1882–1891, 1899–1909, 1912–1955.[5]
