Book excerpt: A general environmental inventory of physical and cultural elements in the Middle Mississippi River floodplain (St. Louis, MS, to Cairo, IL) is provided as a reference source for preparation of environmental impact statements. Physical elements discussed include geology, soils, and climate. Cultural elements are population, economic conditions, waterborne commerce, archeology, history, outdoor recreation, and land use. Geological data, including maps prepared at a scale of 1:250,000, are presented for regional bedrock geology, structural geology (including seismic activity), economic geology, and physiography. Other geology-related items discussed are groundwater geology, historical geology, and rare and unusual geological features. Available maps and narrative descriptions for soils in the Missouri and Illinois counties bordering the river channel are presented for soil classifications relevant to agricultural use. Monthly averages of temperatures and precipitation for St. Louis and Cairo, climatic effects on agriculture, and severe weather are discussed.
