THE MALDEN LAND BRIEF

Land in the
St. Francis Lowlands setting.

Malden city has 8.32 square miles of land in Dunklin County. Its Census reference point is in St. Francis Lowlands, within Mississippi Alluvial Plain.

The Mississippi's broad alluvial plain includes river terraces, swales and natural levees. Small changes in elevation distinguish local settings within this generally flat river landscape.

Malden and Dunklin County

Malden is associated with Dunklin County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Dunklin County

Malden by land and water

The Census records 0 square miles of water within Malden, or 0% of its total area. It is 1 percentage points lower than the 1% recorded for Dunklin County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Malden city has 23.4% of the land area of nearby Cotton Hill township (35.6 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Malden
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Malden?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Dunklin County. Malden’s 8.32 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Malden property in St. Francis Lowlands?+

No. St. Francis Lowlands is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Malden boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Cotton Hill as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 2.8 miles south of Malden’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Malden?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
