Description: Kentucky Bend, also known as the New Madrid Bend, is a unique geographic anomaly located in the southwestern corner of Kentucky, bordered by the Mississippi River and surrounded by the states of Tennessee and Missouri. This exclave is part of Fulton County and is notable for its isolation, accessible only by traveling through Tennessee. The area was formed due to a series of powerful earthquakes in the early 19th century, which altered the course of the Mississippi River. Kentucky Bend is sparsely populated, with agriculture being the primary economic activity. Its distinct location and historical significance make it an interesting subject of study in both geography and history.
