2021 Map of Wolf Island
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
The Mississippi River creates a complex, shifting landscape of islands and bars where the borders of Missouri and Kentucky meet. The settlement of Wolf Island sits on the western side of the river, anchored by a series of family and community burial grounds including Wolf Island Cem, Barnes Cem, and Ivie Cem. The topography is dominated by fluvial features such as Wolf Island Number 5 and the broad Middle Bar, illustrating the river's historical tendency to reshape the land and move state boundaries. To the east, the terrain rises sharply at Chalk Bluff and Three Ponds Bluff, overlooking the wetlands of Three Ponds. This modern survey records the persistent rural road network, including Levee Rd and River Rd, which navigate the low-lying bottoms near Beckwith Bend and Moore Island.
