About this map

Sikeston and the surrounding farmland of Scott County are defined by an extensive network of drainage channels, including Saint Johns Ditch and Town Ditch. These man-made waterways underscore the region's agricultural history, transforming the low-lying terrain into productive acreage. The map details the northern expansion of the city, showing the intersection of major transit corridors near Miner and the residential reach along Sikeston Ridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved family and community burial grounds, such as Hunter Memorial Cem, Bennifield Cem, and Pleasant Valley Cem. Small settlements like McMullin and Sargent provide context for the rural landscape outside the main municipal centers, while the Sikeston Memorial Municipal Airport serves as a modern landmark amidst the grid-patterned fields of the Bootheel region.
