Boundary with Missouri

The boundary with Missouri runs down the middle of the Mississippi River, from a point where a line extended from the low water mark on the northwestern bank of the Ohio River intersects the middle of the Mississippi, to a point where the Kentucky-Tennessee line intersects the middle of the Mississippi for the first time; also, from a point where the Kentucky-Tennessee line intersects the middle of the Mississippi for the second time, between New Madrid, Missouri, and Island No. 10, down the middle of the Mississippi to a point where the line intersects for the third time, near Compromise, Kentucky.
