These are high resolution scans of the maps in this volume. The files are in PDF format and are up to 30 megs. While some of the conclusions of the report are outdated, the maps are beautiful and illustrate the dynamic history of the Mississippi River. The most striking are the 15 sheets that make up Plate 22, the meander maps of the Mississippi from Cape Girardeau to Donaldsonville.
