Steamboats that made it that far up the river were those with shallow draft, even when loaded. Frequently shallow-draft boat had to transfer cargo from deep-draft boats that could proceed no farther up the river.

  • An aerial view of the Upper Mississippi River, looking northbound just above Canton, Mo. To the upper left of the photo (taken by James Sawders during a record low water mark) is Nelson Island, which on the chart is located at Mile 346. While the picture is not dated on the back, it is believed to have been taken in the early 1930s before construction of the 600-ft. locks. John Miller, who posted it, says, “If you look closely you can see the silt on the river bottom and the wake of a jon boat. It reminds me of the Missouri River, but it truly points out why it was so necessary to have the locks built.
