The Joplin problem area <br />consists of all the territo~y i~cluded in Newton and Jasper Counties. <br />The Newton-Jasper County area is a rectangle along the western border <br />of Missouri near the southwestern corner. It is approximately 31 <br />miles wide east to west, and 41 miles long north to south, and en- <br />closes 1,261 square miles. Along the south 16 miles of the western <br />border is Ottawa County, Oklahoma, with Cherokee County, Kansas, <br />forming most of the western border and Crawford County, Kansas, <br />touching the northernmost two miles of the western border. In <br />Missouri, the area is bounded on the south by McDonald County, on <br />the east by Barry, Lawrence and Dade Counties, and on the north <br />by Dade and Barton Counties. <br /> <br />The land slopes generally to the west. The highcst point is <br />near the southeast corner ~ith an elevation of about 1,360 feet <br />above mean sea level, with the lowest area along Shoal Creek bot- <br />toms tn the west with elevations of about 850 feet above mean sea <br />level, a difference of about 530 feet. <br /> <br />The entire area drains into the Lake of the Cherokees (Grand <br />Lake).
