Dredges and Dredging on the Mississippi River
The Mississippi River is utilized for purposes of navigation from the Gulf of Mexico to the Falls of St. Anthony, a distance of about 2000 miles. In this great length, the character of the stream goes through various changes, through the influx of tributaries and other causes. In order to get a clear comprehension of the controlling physical conditions in different parts of the stream, it is best to divide it into four distinct reaches or sections. That portion extending from the Falls of St. Anthony to the mouth of the Missouri, a distance of 712 miles. In this reach the banks are low, and the oscillation between high and low water rarely exceeds 25 ft.
