“New Madrid Floodway” by Jeffrey Rich
Bird’s Point – New Madrid Floodway, Mississippi River, Wyatt, Missouri, 2011 by Jeff Rich
This image was taken during the flooding of the Mississippi River in 2011. This image shows farmland that is underwater because of the activation of the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway. The Army Corps of Engineers dynamited a large section of the Bird’s Point Levee to ease the flooding on Cairo, IL. The activation of the floodway subsequently flooded 130,000 acres of farmland.
This image is part of The Watershed Project which is an ongoing documentation of the southeastern Mississippi Watershed. Work from the series can be seen at jeffreyrich.com as well as watershed-project.com. – Jeffrey Rich
