Parma and Risco anchor this survey of the Missouri Bootheel, revealing a landscape defined by an extensive drainage and water management system. The grid-like patterns of agricultural fields are interspersed with an intricate network of numbered channels, including Ditch No 1, Ditch No 44, and Ditch No 290, which serve to reclaim the low-lying terrain. To the southeast, the massive scale of The Floodway demonstrates the significant engineering efforts required to manage the regional hydrology.
