About this map

The Mississippi River defines the southeastern border of this 1970s survey, wrapping around Kentucky Point and New Madrid. This landscape is heavily shaped by water management and flood control, evidenced by the New Madrid Revetment and a complex network of drainage features including Ash Slough and Otter Slough. The region's agricultural and industrial infrastructure is anchored by the St Louis Southwestern Railroad and the St Louis San Francisco Railroad, which connect established communities like Lilbourn, Kewanee, and Marston.
