About this map

The Mississippi River carves a sharp path through this riverine landscape, where the shifting waters have created a complex network of backwaters and sloughs along the Tennessee-Missouri border. Engineering efforts to manage the river's power are evident through the Linwood Bend Revetment and the Booth Point Dikes, structures designed to stabilize the banks and maintain navigation channels. The terrain is defined by its relationship with water, featuring significant landmarks like Island Number 17 and Booth Point Landing, which speak to the historic river traffic and commerce of the region.
