1969 Map of Henderson Mound

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Henderson Mound and the surrounding agricultural landscape of New Madrid and Mississippi counties appear here in the late 1960s, defined by an intricate system of drainage and flood control. The map illustrates the intensive engineering of the Bootheel region, where St Johns Ditch, Maple Slough, and St James Ditch crisscross the lowlands to manage the water table. A massive Levee system and the Birds Point New Madrid Floodway dominate the southeastern portion of the sheet, protecting the productive fields of Big Prairie.
