About this map

The Mississippi River creates a dramatic sweeping bend on this 1971 survey, defining the border between Missouri and Kentucky. Along its banks, the town of New Madrid is detailed alongside industrial and transport infrastructure, including the St Louis Southwestern and St Louis - San Francisco railroads. The landscape is heavily marked by flood control measures like the Levee and Mud Ditch, reflecting the hydrologic challenges of the Bootheel region.
