Kentucky Bend of the Mississippi & A Sand Volcano - New Madrid Bend - Neck of Kentucky or Bubbleland

The Kentucky Bend of the Mississippi River, also the New Madrid Bend, Madrid Bend, Bessie Bend, Bubbleland, or the Neck of Kentucky is an exclave of Fulton County, Kentucky, encircled by the states of Tennessee and Missouri. It is a portion of a peninsula defined by an oxbow loop meander of the Mississippi River. It is part of the state of Kentucky because the law establishing the boundary of Kentucky included all the land east of the Mississippi River above a certain latitude. At the time, they did not realize this loop would overlap that latitude. Only about 15 people live in this area. One of those people saw the original unedited version of this video and recognized their dog. The peninsula only has about 17.5 square miles of land. It is even mentioned in Mark Twain's book "Life on the Mississippi". Twain described the six-decade-long feud between the Darnell and Watson families and other elements of life in the bend. The area is also the site of what are called "Sand Volcanoes" or "Sand Blows" or "Sand Boils". These are areas where subterranean forces cause sand to shoot up to the surface. I show some examples of this in the video. . The New Madrid (locals pronounce it MAD-rid) earthquakes of 1811 and 1812 had a big effect on this area. Shawnee leader Tecumseh predicted an earthquake while he was in Alabama in 1811 trying to get other Indians to join him in his opposition to US encroachment of Indian lands. When the Alabama area Indians said they did not want to participate, Tecumseh made a prediction. “You do not believe the Great Spirit has sent me. You shall note. I will go straight to Detroit. When I arrive there, I will stamp my foot on the ground and shake down every house in this village.” As the story goes, he arrived in Detroit in December 1811. The first of three massive earthquakes struck this area on December 16, 1811. The two other biggest quakes hit on January 23 and February 7, 1812. The shaking was felt all over the east coast and the Mississippi River valley. It changed the course of the river, too. Nearby Reelfoot Lake (25,000 acres) was created by the uplifts and ruptures from the quake. Over 2,000 quakes were felt were recorded over a short period of time after the original big ones. There are still around 200 measurable quakes in the area each year, although, most cannot be felt.- . I misspoke in my comment about Island 10 being washed away by the 1812 quake. Island 10 could not have been a Civil War battle site if it had been washed away in 1812. My mistake. It was washed away later. - - Travels with Phil © copyrighted 2025 by Phil Konstantin - - - - 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸: http://travelswithphil.com/verybigpho... - - - - 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 & Video 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘀 (other than my own): Google Maps-Studio - Public Domain - - - - "The Rincon" where a river broke thru--    • The Rincon - An 6 Mile Long, Abandoned Mea...   - - - Related Links: 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentuck... 2.
