The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this 2012 survey, carving the distinctive New Madrid Bend and shaping the alluvial plains of the Missouri Bootheel. The historic town of New Madrid sits prominently on the river's edge, protected by the New Madrid Revetment. The surrounding agricultural landscape is densely populated with small family and community burial grounds, including the Mounds Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Evergreen Cemetery, many located near established settlements like Howardville and Lilbourn.
