The Mississippi River defines the border between Illinois and Missouri in this region, shaping a landscape of shifting islands and complex drainage systems. Near the settlement of Lusk, the riverbank is marked by Price Landing, a site reflecting the historical importance of river commerce. The terrain is a network of waterways and chutes, including Doolan Chute and Santa Fe Chute, which separate numerous islands like Powers Island, Billings Island, and Cat Island.
