Map of Mississippi River System and Waterways

This map illustrates the extensive network of navigable waterways within the United States, highlighting two key systems: the Mississippi River System and its tributaries (shown in yellow), and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (marked in red) along the southern coast. It clearly labels major cities that are part of this interconnected inland water transportation network, stretching from the northern Midwest and the Ohio River Valley down to the Gulf Coast. The map also delineates the general U.S. coastlines.
