A river of life and history, the Missouri River stretches 2,341 miles across the heart of the country. Long before colonists arrived, its waters carried Indigenous travelers, trade, and tradition. From above, the Big Muddy winds past historic Brownville, once a bustling steamboat port where paddlewheels churned and commerce moved with the current.
