The map below is roughly accurate on the culture of Missouri. The bootheel itself is part of the mississippi delta and is filled with swamp land. Definitely a south/deep south feel. Then there's a lot of upper south and Ozark culture spread across the southern third of the state.
This is also a good article to read on it. A professor of southern history/politics who taught at ole miss for 9 years says he considers Missouri the northernmost-Southern state.
Columbia, Missouri was also voted one of the top Southern college towns.

Definitely about a third southern, imo.

I'd say that map is pretty damn accurate, with one little exception - parts of northern Missouri feel like Iowa more than anything else.

The Southern part of Texas is in white.

Did you read his article? Here is what else this professor has to say about Missouri
quote:
"Essentially, the entire town became more or less gridlocked because of the game," he said. "And if you weren’t going to the game, you had a choice—either you sort of hunker down for the day, or you got the hell out. You don’t get that in Columbia."
quote:
Traces of segregation are widespread in America generally, of course, so Columbia may not be strikingly different from university towns of comparable size in Northern or Western states.
quote:
The university doesn't strike me as having a Southern culture
quote:
Brekhus sees Columbia as being two-thirds Midwestern and one-third Southern. “One of my friends jokes that Columbia’s not in the South, but you can see the South from Columbia,” he said. “That's pretty close to true.”
