Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: March 17, 2009
Caption: New Madrid Floodway
Additional Description: In the early part of the 20th century, the swamps north of New Madrid were drained. A floodway system replaced St. John's Bayou in the watershed. Thus the route taken by Pope's transports today is a man-made ditch.
