The Corps and the Mississippi

No one body of water seems to represent the history, power and foibles of the US Army Corps of Engineers as much as the Mississippi River. This month's special section in Grist Magazine looks at the Corps and the Mississippi, both past and future, and reveals a bit more about this complex relationship. Our mappers might enjoy the cartoonish interactive map of current Corps projects on the river. Others might just skip to the slideshow (with sound) of development along the river.
