Flood Plain | Mississippi River
Part of the Driftless area, the La Crosse, Wisconsin, the island-like delta formations of the Mississippi River developed over thousands of years as glacial meltwater from the last Ice Age carried sediment into the wide floodplain of the Upper Mississippi.
As rivers like the La Crosse River entered slower-moving waters, they deposited sand, silt, and gravel, creating a complex landscape of braided channels, alluvial islands, and wetland sloughs.
This image was captured during the early morning while camping on a local farm via Hipcamp, my first experience with the app. This location offered a stunning view of the Mississippi, sitting atop a bluff overlooking the flood plain. This was one of those sunrises you don’t forget.
