2017 Map of Valley Ridge

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises from the lowlands of Dunklin County, Missouri, providing a distinct topographic break in an otherwise level agricultural landscape. This geographic feature anchors a string of small settlements and community landmarks, including Bethany, Valley Ridge, and Brian. The ridge is notable for its concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Snider Cem, Elder Cem, and Tucker Cem, which often occupy the higher ground above the drainage network of Main Ditch and Lateral Number 1. At the southern edge of the survey, the city of Campbell marks a transition point where the ridge meets the surrounding plain. The map detail highlights a complex system of drainage and local transport, characterized by Poplar Br Lateral Ditch Number 16 and numerous county roads that navigate the ridge's unique elevation.
