www.umesc.usgs.gov — The Upper Mississippi River System has been highly modified for human use since the late 1800s. One effect of these modifications is that many side channels and backwaters are slowly filling with sediment. The Finger Lakes area of the Upper Mississippi River is a system of six connected backwater lakes just below Dam 4 near Kellogg, Minnesota. More...
