1971 Map of Caruthersville

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this riverfront region, where the industrial and transport infrastructure of Caruthersville meets the alluvial plains of Little Prairie. This 1971 study captures a period of major infrastructure expansion, showing Interstate 55 and several connecting routes marked as Under Construction. In Hayti, the urban grid is dense with civic markers like the City Hall and Hospital, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with family and community sites like Marvin Chapel and Huffman Cem.
