After entering Milliken Bend (mile 455 AHP) you wish to locate the river service in Madison Parish, Louisiana. The river service is indicated by the square containing which number?
• Mississippi River mileage (AHP – Above Head of Passes) on the river charts • How services and facilities (fuel, repairs, supplies) are labeled in chart legends • Using the chart index or marginal notes to match symbols (like numbered squares) to facilities
• Look at the chart legend: what does a numbered square near the riverbank usually represent in this river atlas? • At approximately mile 455 AHP, which numbered square sits closest to the words describing the Madison Parish river service? • Are there multiple numbered squares in Milliken Bend, and which one is directly tied to a facility label rather than to a light, daybeacon, or depth note?
• Verify in the chart legend what a small, numbered square means on that specific publication • Confirm that you are looking at mile 455 AHP (not 454 or 456) and on the correct riverbank for Madison Parish • Make sure the number you pick is the one whose square is directly adjacent to the text describing the river service (fuel, groceries, repairs, etc.), not to another feature
