Google Maps™ identifies this location as “The end of the River Road,” and a sign next to the road proclaims it the “Southernmost point in the state of Louisiana.” This is a fitting place for a sampling of the cairns used to make Watershed Cairns images on the great rivers of the Mississippi River Watershed. Parts of cairns used to mark the Northern Mississippi River, the Ohio River, the Missouri River and its main tributaries are gathered on a log with a view of an island in the Gulf of Mexico beyond.
