🔍 Key Concepts

• Mississippi River System mile markers (River Miles / statute miles) • Relationship between key ports and their river mile locations • How river distances are measured along the channel, not in a straight line

💭 Think About

• Think about whether Baton Rouge and Hickman are relatively close together on the lower river, or spread far apart along the Mississippi River System. • Consider if the distance between these two points would be more like a short regional run or a long multi-day line-haul trip for a towboat. • Compare the answer choices: which seem too short for two states apart on a major river, and which seem very long for the known overall length of the Mississippi?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall or look up the approximate river mile (RM) for Baton Rouge, LA, and for Hickman, KY, then subtract to estimate the distance. • Verify that you are thinking in statute miles along the river (river miles), not nautical miles or straight-line chart distance. • Eliminate any option that would imply a total Mississippi length that is clearly unrealistic when compared with commonly known figures.
