🔍 Key Concepts

• Order of river mile markers and gages when traveling on this route • Your starting location and initial direction of travel (upbound or downbound) • Relative positions of Red River Landing, Natchez, Bayou Sara, and Head of Passes along the river

💭 Think About

• First, list the gages you will pass in order starting from your departure point. Which one is first, second, third, and fourth? • Are any of these gages located very near the Gulf or at the mouth of the river, and would that be early or late on your trip? • Think about which of these locations is furthest upriver and which is furthest downriver, then place the others in between.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the river miles (approximate positions) of each gage relative to your starting point • Verify whether you are traveling upbound (inland) or downbound (toward the Gulf) for this scenario • Double-check that you haven’t skipped any gage that lies between your departure point and each of the named gages
