The Mississippi River carves a massive, looping course through this Illinois-Missouri borderland, creating a complex geography of river bends and islands. Small settlements like Miller City, Roth, Willard, and Cache are scattered across the floodplain of Alexander County, protected by an extensive levee system including the Mississippi Levee Rd. The presence of the Dogtooth Bend Mounds indicates a long history of human occupation in this fertile river bottom, while the Hunter Raffety Elevators Inc Airport speaks to the region's modern agricultural economy.
