The Mississippi looks familiar on a map, but it gets weird fast when you stop treating it like a single line and start treating it like a living system. I’m joined by writer and nature critic Boyce Upholt boyceupholt, author of The Great River: The Making and Unmaking of the Mississippi,to ask a deceptively simple question: where does the Mississippi actually begin? The answer opens into “thinking like a watershed” and realizing that a million-plus square miles of rainfall, tributaries, and human choices all belong to the same river story.
