Caption: Looking Upriver from the Marker Location
Additional Description: The river has shifted course with time, so the location of St. John's Bayou is not easily visited today. The swampland was drained in the first half of the 20th Century when the New Madrid Floodway was installed to drain the land and control flooding. That floodway enters the Mississippi River just behind the trees on the left of this photo.
