The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this southern Illinois and Missouri borderland, where the water's shifting course has created a complex network of chutes and islands. Near the sharp meander of Dogtooth Bend, the terrain is marked by ancient Dogtooth Bend Mounds and the more modern agricultural infrastructure of Hunter Raffety Elevators Inc Airport. Small settlements like Willard, Miller City, and Roth are tucked behind the Mississippi Levee Rd, reflecting a community deeply tied to the alluvial plain.
