About this map

The Saint Francis River defines the western corridor of this Missouri-Arkansas borderlands region, winding through a landscape of large alluvial islands and agricultural drainage systems. Settlements like Carryville, Nimmons, and Frisbee dot the grid of county roads, representing the rural hubs of Dunklin County. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, recording the locations of Nimmons Cemetery, McCulley Cemetery, and Gregory Cemetery near the community of Owens.

Water management is a central theme of the terrain, visible in the long straight channels of Lateral Number 2 and the Main Ditch District Number 2 that parallel the river's natural course. These engineered waterways flank Sevenmile Island and Ten Mile Island, illustrating the transformation of the Mississippi embayment's wetlands into productive farmland. To the south, the city of Kennett begins to emerge, anchored by the smaller developments of West Kennett and Patterson.
