Mississippi River bottomlands dominate this 2012 survey, revealing a landscape defined by sophisticated water management systems along the Missouri-Kentucky border. The area is interlaced with engineered drainage features like the Spillway Ditch, Wilkerson Ditch, and Saint Johns Diversion Ditch, which protect small settlements such as Pinhook and Bayouville from the river's seasonal shifts. The reliance on these systems is underscored by the presence of the Birds Point New Madrid Levee, a critical piece of infrastructure in this flood-prone agricultural region.
