Meander Maps of the Mississippi River (1944)



Harold Fisk, a geologist and cartographer working for the US Army Corps of Engineers, drew maps of the ever-shifting banks of the Mississippi River from southern Illinois to southern Louisiana.


They look like beautiful art and you can purchase prints at The Public Domain Review.
