About this map

Caruthersville and the neighboring town of Hayti serve as the anchors for this Missouri Bootheel landscape along the winding Mississippi River. The river's influence is evident in the complex alluvial features like Little Prairie Bend, Island Number Fifteen, and Blaker Towhead, which define the shifting border with Tennessee. This area is a critical junction for regional travel, where the intersection of Interstate 55 and U.S. Route 412 meets local infrastructure like the Mid Continent Airport and Caruthersville Memorial Airport.

Genealogical interest is significant across the quadrangle, with numerous burial sites including Woodlawn Cem, Huffman Cem, and Patterson Cem located in the rural stretches between settlements. The landscape transitions from the developed grids of Caruthersville to the low-lying agricultural terrain of Kinfolks Ridge and the bayous that drain into the Mississippi. The presence of smaller named points like Hathaway and several local family-named cemeteries highlights the deep-rooted community history of Pemiscot County.
