1963 Map of Sikeston South

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Missouri Bootheel is defined here by the prominent Sikeston Ridge, a natural elevated landform that historically provided flood-free ground for early settlement and transportation. In the early 1960s, the city of Sikeston expanded along its northern edge, showing established neighborhoods around West End Park and schools such as Lincoln Sch and South Sch. The surrounding lowlands of Big Prairie and Long Prairie are intricately carved by drainage projects including North Cut Ditch and St Johns Ditch, reflecting the massive engineering effort required to convert these former wetlands into productive farmland.
