2012 Map of Malden

About this map

Malden serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, where the town's residential grid meets a vast network of drainage infrastructure essential to the region's productivity. The intricate system of man-made waterways, including Ditch Number 2 and Ditch Number 16, illustrates the extensive land reclamation efforts that transformed this corner of Missouri. Settlement patterns follow the cardinal directions of the local road system, connecting outlying communities such as Townley and Providence. Aviation history and utility are prominent features, with both the Malden Municipal Airport and the smaller Broadwater Airport serving the area. Local family and community history is anchored by several burial grounds, from the centrally located Park Cemetery and Memorial Park Cemetery to the outlying Stevens Chapel Cemetery and Macedonia Cemetery, providing a clear geography for genealogical research in Dunklin County.
