2021 Map of Hayti Heights

About this map

The community of Hayti Heights and the neighboring city of Hayti dominate the northern landscape of this Missouri Bootheel survey, defined by a rigorous grid of drainage canals. This network, including Main Ditch Number 8 and Ditch Number 20, illustrates the extensive engineering required to manage the wetlands of Pemiscot County for agriculture and habitation. The map reveals a high density of small family or community burial grounds, such as Morgan Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Cagle Cem, which are invaluable for genealogists tracing family ties in rural settlements like Braggadocio and Micola. South of the urban centers, the terrain transitions into more open farmland, punctuated by subtle elevations like Blow Ridge and small clusters of homes at Gill and Shade. The alignment of Old US Hwy 412 and Interstate 55 provides the backbone for the region's connectivity, cutting across the low-lying fields.
