2011 Map of Arbyrd

About this map

Buffalo Island and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Dunklin County define this corner of the Missouri Bootheel. The area is heavily managed by an intricate drainage system, most notably Honey Cypress Ditch Number 34, which cuts diagonally across the terrain to facilitate large-scale farming. For genealogists, the map is a significant record of rural community life, preserving the locations of numerous family and church burial grounds such as Old Coldwater Cemetery, Silverdale Cemetery, and Lulu Cemetery. Small hubs like Arbyrd and Hollywood anchor the road network, while smaller named points like Bucoda and Caneer reflect the scattered nature of regional settlement. The presence of the Hornersville Memorial Airport and a grid of county roads shows the modern infrastructure supporting this historic delta-like landscape.
