2021 Map of Denton
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
The Missouri Bootheel landscape shown here is defined by an intensive drainage network essential to the region's agricultural history. The Main Ditch and numerous secondary channels like Ditch Number 2 and Ditch Number 8 cross the terrain, revealing the engineering required to convert these lowlands into productive farmland. Small rural settlements and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout, including Denton and Hermondale. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, from the Albert B Denton Family Cem and Barnard Cem in the northeast to the Macedonia Cem in the south. The western edge follows the Dunklin and Pemiscot county line, where natural features like the winding Pemiscot Bayou contrast with the strict grid of rural roads and dredged drainage laterals.
