Dogtooth Bend defines the dramatic southern sweep of the Mississippi River in this 2012 survey of Alexander County, where the river's shifting path has created a complex landscape of chutes and islands. The settlement of Miller City sits at the edge of the Horseshoe Lake drainage, while smaller hamlets like Roth and Willard anchor the interior bottomlands. This area is a patchwork of agricultural fields and conservation lands, including the Horseshoe Lake Consrv Area.
