2012 Map of Gideon

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Dunklin County is defined by a grid of drainage infrastructure and small settlements. The community of Clarkton sits at the intersection of several county roads, while Gideon is positioned further east near the Gideon Memorial Airport. This 2012 survey illustrates the intensive water management required in this corner of Missouri, dominated by the Main Ditch District Number 17 to the north and Ditch Number 1 to the south. Local history is anchored by sites like Mount Gilead Cemetery near Page and the Stanfield Cemetery further south. Smaller named locales such as McGuire, Dunn, and Glendale are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by a network of rural routes including Co Rd-284 and Co Rd-334. The area maintains its rural character, with Sweetwater Camp providing a point of interest amidst the expansive fields and ditch systems.
