The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this Bootheel region, carving the sharp oxbow known as the New Madrid Bend along the Missouri and Kentucky border. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural geography shaped by river navigation and agricultural industry, where the BNSF Railway corridor connects the communities of Lilbourn, Howardville, and Marston. The terrain is scattered with numerous burial grounds of significant genealogical interest, including Saint Marys Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and Hunter Cemetery, alongside the ancient Indian Mound near Howardville.
