The Mississippi River carves a complex boundary through this landscape, marking the shifting border between Tennessee and Missouri. In this corner of Lake County, the river's dynamic history is written in the names of landforms like Island Number 14, Blaker Towhead, and Gore Towhead, which sit alongside deep meanders such as Linwood Bend. The alluvial plain is crisscrossed by a network of drainage ways including Blue Bank Bayou and Running Reelfoot Bayou, illustrating the hydrological character of the Reelfoot basin.
