Mississippi River dynamics dominate this 1932 preliminary survey, which illustrates the complex network of sloughs, chutes, and islands across from Hannibal. The landscape is defined by the intricate hydrology of The Sny and the numerous waterways that bypass the main channel, including Bird Slough and Running Slough. This edition is particularly valuable for its depiction of the river before modern engineering further altered these bottomlands, showing the location of several rural schoolhouses such as the Old Smith Sch and Rouse Sch that served isolated riverside communities.
