The river water was diverted to the west across across fertile farmland across Missouri. 2011 http://www.defensemedianetwork.com/stories/the-great-flood-corps-of-engineers-saved-lives-and-property-along-the-mississippi-river/ The cause of this historic flood was said to be due holding water from the melting snow in abeyance by the Army Corps of Engineers to be released en masse later in the year.
