*For anyone obsessed with beautiful maps, these colorful and informative
examples tracking the many paths of the lower Mississippi are a dream
come true*. The monumental collection was produced in 1944 by Harold N.
Fisk, who drew in a rainbow of colors the path of past and current flows
as the mighty river changed course and flooded over time. For a full
size .zip file (197MB!) of the maps, head to the _ERDC_

information, beautifully displayed
