About this map

Little River and a complex system of engineered drainage ditches define this portion of the Missouri Bootheel, illustrating the region's total transformation into productive agricultural land. The landscape is dotted with small agricultural settlements such as Peach Orchard, Gidson, and Sumach, which are interconnected by a dense grid of local county roads. The town of Bragg City sits near the southeastern corner, serving as a focal point for the surrounding farming community.

Evidence of historical water management is visible through features like the Old Channel Little River, which traces the original path of the waterway before it was diverted and straightened. The boundary between Dunklin and Pemiscot counties runs vertically through the center of the map, separating distinct rural townships. For genealogists, the Sumach Cemetery provides a specific point of interest in the northwestern quadrant, while named locations like Yama, Kirk, and Mackeys offer clues to former whistle-stops or local trade centers.
