The map, bottom right, illustrates the major changes of the river courses involved in the LC expedition. Wood/DuBois River moved north a few miles, while the Missouri gravitated south moving even farther away from their original face to face locations. Wandering river beds constantly plague experts trying to pinpoint LC sites. A granite slab etched with a map of the journey lies at the entrance of a second fort replica in the town of Wood River IL (see next page). Top right, view of the Mississippi/Missouri confluence from the Illinois side north of the L&C Interpretive Center.
