💭 Think About

• Identify the river mile marking at the new mouth of the White River and compare it to the mile marking given in the question (144.6 AHP) • Think about whether you should be adding or subtracting river miles when going from one location to another along the same river system • Consider if there are any cutoffs, canals, or alternate routes that could change the distance compared to the straight-line chart scale

✅ Before You Answer
