Description: Looking south at the confluence of the Mississippi River (left) and the Missouri River (right) at Jones-Confluence Point State Park in the state of Missouri. The debris and disturbed aspect of the facility are due to the floods that are prone to occur at this spot. Lewis and Clark wintered on the far (east) bank of the Mississippi near the center of this image at Camp Dubois in 1803-1804 prior to their expedition up the Missouri River.
