The St Francis River and Black River valleys converge near the city of Poplar Bluff in this mid-century study of Butler and Wayne Counties. The landscape is defined by the massive Wappapello Reservoir to the north and a sophisticated network of drainage canals to the southeast, including Snyder Ditch and several numbered channels like Ditch No 2. These systems illustrate the era's intensive water management efforts to reclaim low-lying lands for development and agriculture.
