2019 Map of Bondurant

About this map

Mississippi River waters dominate the landscape of the Kentucky-Missouri borderlands at the Bend of Island Number 8. This flood-prone terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and drainage features, including Chute of Island Number 8, Number 8 Slough, and Running Slough. Small agricultural settlements like Bondurant, Miller, and Tyler anchor the rural interior, connected by a grid of local roads such as Sutton Rd and Cotton Gin Rd. The presence of the Sassafras Ridge Cem and a documented Indian Mound provide valuable points of interest for genealogists and local historians, while the wandering path of the Bayou du Chien marks the southern reach toward the Tennessee border. The map illustrates a landscape where early settlement patterns were dictated by the precarious relationship between farming and the river's changing course.
