USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Headwater Diversion Channel cuts a bold diagonal across this landscape, illustrating the massive hydrological engineering required to drain the Missouri Bootheel for agriculture. The map captures the transition of the lowlands from swamps into a highly structured grid of drainage ditches, such as Ditch No 109 and Ditch No 287, which redefined the geography of Stoddard and Cape Girardeau counties.
