Description: This is a rare antique map from 1898 showing the overflowed lands along the Mississippi River between St. Paul and the mouth of the Mississippi River. The map, measuring 24x9 inches, is in good condition with beautiful, intricate detail, providing a unique look into the historical flooding patterns and landscape of one of America's most significant waterways. The Mississippi River is known for its historical flooding, which has shaped not only the surrounding lands but also the economies and communities along its banks. This map likely served a practical purpose in documenting areas prone to flooding for planning and development at the time. It highlights the river's impact from St. Paul, Minnesota, to its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico, offering a fascinating insight into the environmental history of the region. This is a wonderful piece for collectors of historical maps, geography enthusiasts, or those with a special interest in the Mississippi River's role in shaping the U.S. landscape.
