A portion of the boundaries of both St. Louis City and St. Louis County are defined by the Mississippi River. This particular statement applies to many large and small jurisdictions in the United States.
States, counties, and cities up and down the river’s 2340 miles length can make this claim. Large enough to be difficult to bridge for most of its length, this was a logical limit for the settlers to observe.
This pleasant view is the river separating Missouri and Illinois several miles south of St. Louis City. An observer with patience is likely to see one or more set of barges pass in either direction. This is also a few river miles south of the final lock and dam on the river.
Would you take your sweetheart to a park viewpoint such as this to observe a river?
