1978 Map of Malden
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The St Louis Southwestern railroad corridor anchor this corner of the Bootheel, where the city of Malden serves as a regional hub for industry and transportation. In the late 1970s, the landscape around the city is defined by a rigorous grid of drainage infrastructure, including Ditch No 1 and Ditch No 2, which transformed the Little River Valley into productive land. The northwestern quadrant is dominated by the Malden Municipal Airport, while the urban center shows a concentration of civic life at City Hall and recreational sites like the Fish Hatchery. Rural life persists in outlying settlements such as Townley and Broadwater, often centered around local landmarks like Maple Grove Ch and Stevens Chapel Cem. This survey captures the transition from the city's structured streets to the expansive agricultural fields and specialized facilities like the Drive-in Theater and Golf Courses.
