I'm a St. Louis Artist who received your email about the documentary you are planning on the Mississippi River. I have been interested in the river and have some work/ideas that might be of interest to you.

I have a series of watercolors from maps of the confluence of the Miss and Missouri Rivers beginning with Maquette map of 1675 and each 100 year interval plus a 1993 flood map. At the base of each map is a cross section through the area showing settlement, rivers being hidden, pollution from coal, yada yada. Might be something you could use.

I have a proposal for a project called "Fishing for Rivers" which involves fishing with a bottle at 5 locations along the Chain of Rocks bridge to illustrate the different colors, density of waters from the two rivers that don't actually mix until they are east of St. Louis.

Have you seen the water intakes on the Miss river just South of the confluence of the Miss and Mo? Like German castle turrets. I'd love to boat out there and spend the night. Bed and breakfast on the River anyone?
