About this map

Malden and its surrounding agricultural landscape dominate this portion of the Missouri Bootheel, revealing a complex network of drainage ditches essential to the region's productive farmland. The town's layout is clearly defined, with Spoonerville and Providence sitting to the south along the transportation corridors that link these communities. This 2015 survey highlights the continued significance of aviation in the area, marked by the extensive Malden Regional Airport and the smaller Broadwater Airport to the east.

Evidence of long-standing local communities is found in numerous burial grounds, including Stevens Chapel Cemetery and Macedonia Cemetery, which anchor the rural landscape between settlements like Townley and Baxter. The intricate system of waterways, from W Ditch to Ditch Number 2, illustrates the engineered nature of the terrain, while the boundary line between Dunklin and New Madrid counties cuts vertically through the eastern half of the map.
