About this map

Hayti Heights and the neighboring community of Hayti anchor this late-1970s landscape in Pemiscot County, where the transition from agricultural fields to residential pockets is clearly defined. The terrain is notably level, marked by an extensive drainage system including Ditch No 12 and Ditch No 8, which supports the productivity of the Pascola and Little Prairie regions.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, such as Morgan Cem, Long Cems, and Darnell Cem, often situated near older settlement sites like Braggadocio. Transportation networks of the era are dominated by the St Louis-San Francisco railroad line and the diagonal cut of Main Ditch Road, illustrating the region's reliance on both rail and improved drainage for its economic survival. Specialized institutions like the County Vocational Sch and County Special Sch reflect the social infrastructure serving these Bootheel communities.
