The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this 2018 survey, marking the state line between Illinois and Missouri where the floodplains of Union and Cape Girardeau counties meet. On the Illinois side, the landscape is characterized by a dense network of drainage infrastructure, including the Running Lake Ditch and Number 7 Ditch, which support the agricultural lowlands near Wolf Lake and Ware. This area is heavily protected by the Miss River Levee Rd, which parallels the river's winding course and its transient islands like Vancill Towhead and Swiftsure Towhead.
