The Mississippi River defines this landscape where Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee meet at the dramatic river bends south of Farrenburg. The 1982 photorevision captures a complex network of levees and man-made drainage, including the Birds Point New Madrid Ditch, designed to manage the New Madrid Floodway. This area is characterized by a series of scour holes and oxbow remnants, such as Hubbard Lake, Fish Lake, and the aptly named Stonewall Lake, which illustrate the river's historical shifts and the engineering efforts to stabilize the current channel.
