2017 Map of Kennett South

About this map

Kennett serves as the focal point of this Bootheel landscape, where the town’s grid gives way to an engineered network of agricultural drainage. The southeastern corner of the map reveals a complex system of waterways, including the Little River, Elk Chute Ditch, and Ditch Number 259, illustrating the massive 20th-century effort to reclaim the swampland for farming. This transition is marked by several small, scattered settlements such as Scobeville, Vincit, and Caruth, which sit along the straight-line county roads that partition the former wetlands.
