South of Evansville, there is land north of the Ohio River which is part of Kentucky.

I didn't know that, but I see it on the Google Map.

Also, there's a little portion of Kentucky in the extreme southwestern corner which is only accessible by passing through another state, TN or MO.

Also I see on the map there's a little bit of Kentucky that's actually WEST of the Mississippi River. I didn't know that either.

The Kentucky/Tennessee state line is a bit odd...it is a few miles north of where it should be in the eastern and central areas, then is exactly at 36 degrees 30 minutes in the western area (Jackson Purchase)...that little piece of detached Kentucky is just north of 36-30. The surveyors for the eastern and central parts of the line were perhaps having a bit too much whiskey on the job...the line zigs and zags a bit.

All along the Mississippi there are bits of land that are separated from the rest of their state by the river, because of the river changing course since the state boundaries were set.
