1971 Map of Catron
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The agricultural landscape of New Madrid County is defined here by a network of drainage ditches and the meandering course of the Little River. In the early 1970s, the village of Catron served as a local hub, situated at the junction of the St Louis Southwestern railroad and a prominent Radio Tower. The map illustrates a transition in land use, featuring both the engineered precision of the Old Channel and the persistent small-town footprints of Baderville, Dodds, and Lone Star. Evidence of local infrastructure is scattered across the townships of Como, Lewis, and La Font, including a Gaging Station and a rural Landing Strip. The presence of a Sewage Disposal Pond and the Sl - Sf railroad line in the southern reaches further documents the mid-century development of this Missouri Bootheel region.
