These scanned Mississippi River Hydrographic Survey Books are excellent maps of the Mississippi River. These Mississippi River maps are available for 1935 through 1992 series. The Mississippi River Commission Comprehensive Mississippi River Surveys of 1913 and 1883 were also scanned. These maps are valuable for both hydrographic and archeological studies. Please take care when making comparisons between book series data. Carefully review the provided background information about these surveys, since vertical/horizontal datums, sounding/contour datums, river mileages, and other key references have changed during this period.

The scanned map plates are presented in a compressed format called Mr.Sid. A special plug-in may be required for your computer. View information on MrSids and download the online MrSid viewer. If you are unsure about installing the plug-in please take a look at our demonstration page to see the MrSid Online Viewer's capabilities.
