1939 Map of Sikeston
USGS Topo · Published 1939About this map
The town of Sikeston serves as a central hub in this Missouri Bootheel landscape, where a sophisticated network of drainage canals has transformed the terrain for agriculture. Extensive engineering is evident in the numbered ditches, such as Ditch No 38 and the significant St Johns Ditch, which redirect water across Scott, New Madrid, and Stoddard counties. This systematic drainage allowed for the establishment of numerous rural institutions, including Silent Hill Ch and a high density of one-room schoolhouses like Pharris Ridge Sch and Lennox Sch.
