About this map

Henderson Mound and a smaller Indian Mound reflect a deep chronological history of human habitation along the banks of the Mississippi River in this fertile alluvial region. This mid-century survey captures a complex landscape of drainage and levee work, where the Birds Point Main Ditch and numerous numbered laterals, such as Lateral No. 1 and Lateral No. 5, were critical to the agricultural productivity of New Madrid County and Mississippi County. The river's winding path creates distinct geographic features like the Bend of Island No. 8 and Hotchkiss Bend, while the border between Missouri and Kentucky remains notably indefinite along Three States Island. The settlement pattern is defined by rural hubs like Bayouville, Farrenburg, and Bondurant, supported by numerous country schools and churches such as Pinhook Sch No. 2 and Sassafras Ridge Ch & Cem.
