Book excerpt: Excerpt from Work of the Mississippi River Commission The Mississippi River lies almost unused in the most rapidly develop ing traffic region in the continent. It rises in the northern part of Minne sota and flows almost due southward. Emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. No other river system in the world offers such natural facilities for internal and external trade. As does the Mississippi and its branches. The basin of the river consists of nearly all the land in the United States between the Rocky and Allegheny Mountains. And has an area of one million two hundred and forty-four thousand square miles. For the purpose of traffic and engineering development. The river may be divided into six principal streams or collections; the main river below St. Louis. The Ohio. The Chicago-illinois route to the lakes. The Upper Mississippi, the Missouri. And the minor tributaries. The last includes. By a free use of the term. The Tennessee. The Cumberland. The Arkansas, and the Red River. The six divisions comprise at least eighteen thousand miles of channel susceptible of development to a navigable stage. Not including the allied waters to which they are connected. There has been no accurate estimate, but it is certain that more than sixteen thousand miles have actually been traversed by steam-boats and have been taken in charge by federal engineers.
