	Bootheel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Missouri Bootheel is the southeasternmost part of the state of Missouri, lying between the Mississippi River and the St.
		Strictly speaking, it is composed of the counties of Dunklin, New Madrid, and Pemiscot, but the term is sometimes broadly used to refer to the entire southeastern corner of the state.
		The Bootheel gets its name from the shape of its boundaries, an area added to Missouri when it was granted statehood due to the influence of John Hardeman Walker, a major landowner in the area.

	SOS, Missouri - State Archives Missouri History FAQ - Origins of the Bootheel
		The inclusion of the "bootheel" in the boundaries of Missouri has been credited to John Hardeman Walker, a landowner and influential citizen of southeast Missouri.
		Walker was born in Tennessee in 1794 and came to the New Madrid area of the Territory of Missouri at the age of sixteen.
		Walker, who preferred the area, and his holdings, to be under the protection of Missouri state laws, lobbied in Missouri and Washington D.C. for inclusion of the "bootheel" within the boundaries of the state of Missouri.

		The Missouri Bootheel is the southeasternmost part of the state of Missouri, lying between the Mississippi River and the St. Francis River.
		The Bootheel has long had a reputation for lawlessness; remote settlements along the river banks, miles from paved roads, provided an ideal environment for moonshining and bootlegging.
		This fault zone is responsible for a very major series of earthquakes that rocked the area in 1811 and 1812; supposedly it rang church bells along the East Coast and resulted in a subsidence that led to the formation of Reelfoot Lake across the Mississippi River in West Tennessee.

		SIKESTON — The Bootheel Golf Club’s slogan, “Lambert’s isn’t the only place for a great roll,” plays on a pair of Sikeston’s best-known rolls, the famous “throwed rolls” of the well-known Sikeston eatery and the smooth rolling greens of the Sikeston golf course.
		The Bootheel Golf Club opened its doors in 1997, the brainchild of two Louisville, Ky., developers, Clark Fenimore, originally from Diehlstadt, and Neal Harding, who was associated with Hooters of America.
		Bootheel is currently hosting a ladies golf clinic, which includes swing, rules and etiquette instruction, a summer range membership and playing privileges for a fee of $175.

	PALEOCHANNEL PIERCING-POINT ANALYSIS OF THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL LINEAMENT, NEW MADRID SEISMIC ZONE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Seismic and geomorphic studies suggest that the Bootheel lineament may be a surface rupture of a fault that bypasses the central step-over in the seismic zone.
		The lower channel fill is restricted to the west side of the lineament terminating at the Bootheel lineament and at the channel cut-bank.
		The paleochannel cut-bank margin is bisected at the point of intersection with the lineament, and relative locations of the paleochannel east and west of the lineament show the Bootheel lineament to be a right-lateral strike-slip fault with horizontal and vertical offset.

		Kingery and the other members of the Bootheel Team see waste that can be cut, which would produce enough savings to keep the labs open, possibly to expand their services.
		DHSS Director Dunn was out of town and unavailable for comment but Gonder said it was her understanding that when the bids open again, the suggestions for cost cutting discussed with the Bootheel Team will be considered.
		Currently the lab in Poplar Bluff remains open but will close at the beginning of the state's next budget year -- unless the Bootheel Team is successful in restoring the money and making sure DHSS takes a look at how efficiently it spends the money it has.

		The importance of a wheat cover crop in the region was especially significant in 2000, one of the worst sand-blowing seasons ever.
		Phipps said Bootheel cotton producers grew a high micronaire crop in 1999, a real dry year, but have since learned to irrigate during bloom to maximize fiber length.
		It's good to remember that the length of the fiber is established during a three-week period after bloom, noted Phipps, so it's important not to let the plant stress for water during that period, or you could end up with short fiber.
