About this map

Little River and its meandering channel define the boundary between Scott and Stoddard counties in this agricultural region of southeast Missouri. The landscape is marked by a systematic grid of section lines and county roads, reflecting the reclamation and intensive farming of the Bootheel. Small rural hubs such as Vanduser and Crowder serve the surrounding farmland, while the northern edge of Sikeston appears at the bottom of the map, indicating the transition from open fields to the city's residential outskirts.

Local history is preserved in landmarks like Carpenter Cem and the settlement at McMullin. The presence of drainage features like Mud Slough illustrates the complex water management required in this low-lying area. Established road networks, including State Hwy Z and State Hwy Y, connect the scattered communities of Salcedo, Tanner, and Clines Island, which remain integrated into the productive delta landscape.
