How cool is this map? I feel like it looks like art. You can see more of the maps by clicking this link.

THE ALLUVIAL VALLEY OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER

Harold Fisk, 1944

Part of an otherwise technocratic report for the Army Corps of Engineers, Fisk’s maps of the historical traces of the Mississippi River are a wonderful surprise. Presented here are all fifteen maps, stretching from southern Illinois to southern Louisiana.
