Confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers [edit]

The Mississippi and Ohio Rivers literally collide with each other at the southern tip of Illinois ; just south of Cairo, IL.  Both rivers are approximately a mile wide where they meet.  The muddy Mississippi and the realitively clear Ohio do not simply run together; a visible line of turbulance occurs where they collide.  When one river is higher than the other, this line of demarcation may actually be a visible difference of several inches of level difference.  The waters of the two remain visible distinct from one another for a number of miles downstream before they fully blend with each other.   The characteristics of this river "crossroads of the nation" are unique in the United States.
