🔍 Key Concepts

• Mississippi River System Light List mileage references • Meaning of ascending and descending a river (inland river terminology) • How riverbanks are named relative to the direction of flow

💭 Think About

• Think about how mariners describe positions along a river: are they measured going upstream or downstream? • When you face in the direction of the river’s flow, which side is called "left" and which is called "right"? • Which of these answer choices reflects the standard inland river chart/light list convention rather than shipboard port/starboard terms?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how river miles are measured on the Mississippi River System (upbound or downbound). • Check the definition of left bank and right bank in relation to the river’s current. • Confirm that the Light List refers to features by riverbank naming, not by a vessel’s port/starboard sides.
