Supposedly windblown loess is the source of some of the deposits? While that would not make them truly "glacial" it is postulated that glaciers ground up rock into the powderly loess, is it not? And that some are hence aeolian and not all merely alluvial? (The point is basically valid and the correction a good one.)

Did quite a bit of reordering, addition of information. The "Culture" section language seems a tad balky to me, but I'm currently too braindead to think what to do with it. Renaissongsman 01:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Can we get a map of Missouri with Dunklin, Pemiscot, and New Madrid county highlighted in red?
The Bootheel forms the biggest jog in a nearly straight line of state borders that starts on the Atlantic Ocean with the Virginia/North Carolina border extending all the way to tri-state border of Nevada, Arizona and Utah.
Isn't the "jog" at the Missouri/Kansas border equally large? At the Bootheel the jog is from 36°30' to 36°, while west of Missouri it is at 37°. Pfly 05:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
What is significant about the year 1989? Why did developers cut timber for 96 years and then suddenly stop? It was obviously not because they ran out of forest. Was there legislation passed? Can the significance of 1989 be explained?

"However, while these legends persist, the reality was that the Bootheel was first proposed and ultimately created under political pressure from wealthy landowners in the emerging Arkansas who wanted to liberate themselves from the government in St. Louis and govern themselves."
Wealthy landowners in Arkansas, wanting to *seperate* from Missouri, pushed for territory to be *added* to Missouri? 97.91.249.83 ( talk) 11:01, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

There are two separate reasons given for the existence of the bootheel in consecutive paragraphs. First we have this:
But then a paragraph later we have:
It's hard to reconcile these two statements, and as noted above, the second explanation makes little sense -- how did the Bootheel help wealthy landowners in Arkansas stay free from interference from the Missouri government?
The second, more puzzling sentence does include a citation, but unfortunately it's to something in print that I can't follow up on right now. One possible reading is that creating the Bootheel pushed those areas that would have otherwise been in Arkansas but felt connected to Missouri out of Arkansas politics, which would put the rest of Arkansas on a more independent path. But anyone who has access to the cited material should take a look at it and see if there's some better explanation. -- Jfruh ( talk) 21:02, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

I just signed up for Wikipedia to point out that the common border between AZ, New Mexico and Utah as referenced towards the top of the article also borders Colorado. The only common point of those states is the “four corners” (look at the map).
I don’t know how to change it but figured I would point it out. Dpassam ( talk) 22:48, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
