1939 Map of Bayouville

About this map

Mississippi River meanders define this complex borderland where Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee meet. The landscape is dominated by the massive Bend of Island No 8, a sharp oxbow that isolates Island No 8 and creates a shifting patchwork of state boundaries. This era shows a river-dependent economy in transition, marked by numerous landings such as Spies Ldg and Barker Ldg alongside drainage ditches and levee systems designed to reclaim the fertile bottomlands for agriculture.
