1935 Map of Zalma
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
The Castor River meanders through this portion of Missouri, anchoring a landscape defined by the transition from the rolling terrain of Wayne and Bollinger counties into the engineered lowlands of Stoddard County. The rail-and-river economy of the mid-1930s is visible in the alignment of the St Louis San Francisco railroad, which services small outposts like Zalma, Greenbrier, and Sturdivant. To the south, the natural drainage of Duck Creek gives way to a sophisticated network of man-made waterways including Ditch No 101 and Ditch No 5, part of early 20th-century efforts to reclaim swampy bottomlands for agriculture.
