About this map

The Mississippi River carves a dramatic path through this 2017 survey, defining the complex border between Missouri and Kentucky. This specific geography includes the unique Kentucky Bend, an exclave of Kentucky entirely surrounded by Missouri and Tennessee waters. The landscape is a intricate network of oxbow lakes and wetlands, including Hubbard Lake, Stonewall Lake, and Lake Number 9, which reflect the historic meandering of the river over centuries.

Evidence of local land management and settlement is visible through drainage features like Saint Johns Ditch and the Mud Ditch, alongside essential crossings like Knotts Bridge. For those tracing family history in New Madrid County or across the river in Fulton County, the presence of Adams Cem and Whitson Cem near Kentucky Bend Rd provides specific points of interest. The map also documents numerous river-formed features such as Donaldson Point and Kentucky Point, alongside several deep-water areas identified as "holes," including Ransburgh Hole and Dawson Hole.
