2015 Map of Hornersville

About this map

Hornersville and its surrounding alluvial landscape are defined by an intricate network of drainage canals and agricultural settlements in this Dunklin County survey. The Little River and Old Channel Little River are bound by numerous man-made waterways including Ditch Number 259, Elk Chute Ditch, and Lateral Number 18, reflecting the region's managed hydrology. Small rural hubs such as Cotton Plant, Leachville Junction, Rives, and Sunrise are linked by a grid of county roads and Missouri state routes like Mo-N. For the family historian, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including Bone Cemetery, Hutchens Cemetery, and Harkeys Cemetery. The terrain is remarkably flat, with the exception of slightly elevated ground at Treasure Island and Branums Point, highlighting the geography of the Missouri Bootheel before modern developments altered these drainage patterns.
