About this map

The Dunklin Co Pemiscot Co boundary bisects this agricultural landscape in the Missouri Bootheel, where the intricate network of the Little River Drainage District dominates the terrain. This drainage system, including Elk Chute Ditch, Ditch Number 76, and N Deering Ditch, illustrates the massive engineering effort required to reclaim the region's swamplands for cultivation. Small, linear settlements like Tinkerville, Gobler, and Bakerville follow the section lines and road grids that define the area's development.

Evidence of local heritage is found at several rural burial sites, including Rising Star Cemetery and Saint Johns Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the modern course of the Little River in the west to the Old Channel Little River in the east, marking the legacy of the region's hydrographic transformation. Communities like Deering and Oakville serve as focal points within this grid-based agricultural heartland.
