The Mississippi River creates a dramatic loop at the New Madrid Bend, defining the geography of this Missouri-Kentucky borderland. In this river-dominated landscape, the city of New Madrid serves as a focal point, anchored by the New Madrid County Courthouse near the riverfront. The town layout is characterized by streets named for states and historical figures, while the surrounding alluvial plain is dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Saint Marys Cem and Evergreen Cem, which provide significant data for genealogical research.
