Mississippi River ITMB ITMB | 9781771294836

This is the third River map that we have published (the Amazon and Nile having been in print for several years). Old Miss’ is one of America’s paramount features. Starting from its delta in New Orleans, side one covers the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas as it passes Memphis and St. Louis, where it intersects with Route 66. The second side continues north through Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota to Minneapolis to its origins near Grand Rapids. This is essentially the area passed over to the Americans by Napoleon Bonaparte in exchange for money he desperately needed to carry on his wars to dominate Europe. The Louisiana Purchase tripled the size of the United States in 1803 and ended the strife that had bedevilled British North American realities from the 1740s. As a result, this map represents the true heartland of America, replete with history and the American dream. Coverage is from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico and from Chicago west to Kansas City. A list of Top Attractions is included.
