The Mississipi River and St. Louis

Although not part of the eastern seaboard megapolis, there is much interest monitoring the Mississippi River course through the midwestern states in the wake of the catastrophic floods from the summer of 1993. This is a wide angle view of the central Mississippi River and its floodplain (2), the confluence of the Missouri (2) and the Mississippi, and the city of St. Louis (3). The boundaries of the Mississippi River floodplain are obvious (arrows). (STS51B-147-015)
