2015 Map of Hubbard Lake

About this map

Kentucky Bend defines this portion of the Mississippi River, where the state line between Missouri and Kentucky creates a unique geographic exclave. The landscape is dominated by the hydraulic history of the river, marked by numerous sloughs, chutes, and "holes" that indicate former river channels and flood patterns. Significant water bodies like Hubbard Lake, Fish Lake, and Stonewall Lake sit within the alluvial plain, surrounded by a network of drainage systems including Saint Johns Ditch and Mud Ditch. The presence of Adams Cemetery and Whitson Cemetery near the riverbanks provides valuable data points for genealogists tracking families in this river-bottom environment. The map also details early 21st-century infrastructure such as Kentucky Bend Rd and Co Highway 404, which navigate the complex terrain between the river's Hotchkiss Bend and the settlement at Ash Log.
