About this map

The city of Dexter serves as the central hub of this Stoddard County landscape, situated where the rolling hills of the north meet the flat agricultural plains of the south. This transition is marked by the course of the Dudley Main Ditch, a significant water management feature that reflects the region's history of reclaiming lowland for cultivation. To the north, the terrain is more varied, hosting the town of Bloomfield and the Missouri State Veterans Cem - Bloomfield.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including the Sadler Chapel Cem, Kinder Cem, and Hagy Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural townships. The map also detail the intersection of regional infrastructure, from the Dexter Municipal Airport south of the city to the drainage networks of Delaware Cr and Cane Cr, illustrating the balance between modern development and the natural hydrology of southeastern Missouri.
