🔍 Key Concepts

• Understand that AHP stands for Above Head of Passes on the Lower Mississippi River and refers to river miles measured upstream from Head of Passes. • Use a river mile chart or navigation chart for the Mississippi River to match mile 389.8 AHP with the nearby town name. • Pay attention to small differences in mile markers—nearby towns can be only a few miles apart, so precision matters.

💭 Think About

• Which of these towns do you recognize as being along the Lower Mississippi River in the general area of mile 380–400 AHP? • If you had a Mississippi River mile chart, how would you locate mile 389.8 AHP and then identify the town listed at or nearest to that mile? • Are any of these town names familiar from other river questions at nearby mile markers, and can that help you rule out distractor choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the meaning of AHP (Above Head of Passes) and that you’re thinking about the correct river and mileage system. • Double-check the exact mile number 389.8, not just the general area, when matching to a town on a chart or table. • Verify that the town you select is actually located on or immediately adjacent to the Mississippi River at that approximate mile, not inland or on another waterway.
