🔍 Key Concepts

• Mississippi River mileage references and identifying Memphis Gage and Elmwood Marine Services Dock on the river chart • AHP versus UMR mileage conventions; the illustration defines these abbreviations but does not give the locations • Distance along the navigable channel, rather than a straight-line map distance

💭 Think About

• Starting from the downstream voyage established in step 1, how would you locate both named points on the river chart and determine their mile references? • Once both locations are identified, what chart-based method gives the river-route distance between the gage and the dock?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm both endpoints refer to the correct Memphis Gage and Elmwood Marine Services Dock, and compare their mile references in the same mileage system. • Measure or calculate the distance along the river channel; do not use a straight-line separation or confuse AHP with UMR mileage.
