Beyond Control

- The Mississippi River's New Channel to the Gulf of Mexico

About Beyond Control

Explores the Mississippi as a waterway of change, unnaturally confined by ever-larger levees and control structures. Since 1973, the US Army Corps of Engineers Control Complex at Old River has kept the Mississippi from jumping out of its historic channel and plunging through the Atchafalaya Basin to the Gulf of Mexico. Beyond Control traces the history of this phenomenon.
