Title: MISSISSIPPI RIVER FLOODS FARMLAND AND TOWNS
Caption: In one of the largest floods in the twentieth century, the 1993 flood on the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers broke through levees and flooded vast areas. In the foreground are flooded farmland and a flooded access road for a bridge over the river. In the middle right is a flooded river town. A long line of green trees surrounded by brown floodwaters in the upper part of the photograph marks one of the river banks at low flow. (Andrea Booher/FEMA Photo)
