The low-lying Bootheel landscape of New Madrid and Pemiscot counties is defined by an extensive drainage network and the massive engineering of The Floodway. This 1970s survey captures a rural environment where agriculture is managed through a complex system of numbered ditches, including Ditch No 62 and Ditch No 7, which feed into the Little River. Small settlements such as Boekerton and Hartzell dot the grid, with the latter situated along the St Louis Southwestern Railroad.
