2015 Map of Vastus
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Vastus sits at the heart of this landscape in Butler County, where a complex network of agricultural drainage channels defines the local geography. The map reveals the sophisticated water management systems required for the low-lying plains of southeastern Missouri, featuring named canals like Harviell Ditch, Cane Creek Ditch, and Stillcamp Ditch. These man-made features weave through the natural hydrology of Big Hunting Slough and Little Hunting Slough, illustrating how the region's swamps were reclaimed for farming.
