Another thing I find interesting about the Mississippi is that it has not only tributaries which flow INTO it, but also distributaries which flow OUT of it and separately to the Gulf.

I was working on a map and trying to trace the rivers. The Atchafalaya had me baffled for that reason. I know that it generally flows south to the Gulf, but I saw a confluence with the Mississippi far to the north.
