2021 Map of Sikeston South

About this map

Sikeston serves as the focal point of this modern topographic survey, positioned at the northern edge of the Sikeston Ridge. The landscape transitions from the urbanized streets of the city to the expansive agricultural tracts of the Missouri Bootheel, characterized by the prominent drainage of the Saint Johns Ditch flowing south toward Matthews. For genealogists and local researchers, the map identifies several significant interment sites, including Sikeston City Cem, Little Vine Cem, and the Garden of Memories Cem. The transportation network is highly developed, showing the intersection of major transit corridors near Miner and the grid-based residential development around Sikeston Memorial Park. The map's detail provides a clear view of how irrigation and drainage engineering define the contemporary land use of New Madrid and Scott Counties.
