About this map

Bertrand and Diehlstadt anchor this modern survey of the low-lying agricultural plains along the Scott Co and Mississippi Co line. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including the prominent North Cut Ditch, Brushy Lake Ditch, Muddy Ditch, and Ash Ditch, which manage the water levels of this fertile bottomland. These engineered waterways dictate the layout of the local road system, which follows a rigid grid of county roads and state highways.

Local history is preserved in the location of Maynard Cem north of Diehlstadt and Oak Grove Cem to the east. The map provides a detailed look at the street-level geography of Bertrand, showing the alignment of W Beech St, E Cedar St, and S Jobe Dr as they intersect with the primary transportation corridors. This record offers a precise view of the rural-residential patterns and land management strategies in this part of Southeast Missouri.
