Cull, Missouri facts for kids

Cull is located on a county road, just south of U.S. Route 160. It's about nine miles east of a bigger town called West Plains. The community is also quite close to the eastern edge of Howell County. Just two miles to the east, in Oregon County, you'll find another small community called Rover.
