This earthen berm is a defense against Mississippi River floods in Hannibal. It rises between the river, which is off to the left, and the town on the right. The concrete gate allows passage, but when the water rises, so does a barrier from below the street. We were there to see Mark Twain's boyhood home.

I knew this little flood control pond was in the area after looking at google sattelite maps, so we went and explored. Again, it was mostly gated off, except for one open gate, which I noticed later looked as if it had been broken open. There weren't any No Trespassing signs, though. Definitely not somewhere you would want to go during a storm. Yes, there is a kid fishing in there.

The F-4 Channel, a rectangular concrete channel located southwest of the Las Vegas Beltway, was built as part of the Tropicana and Flamingo Washes Project in 2007.

Repair work is being performed under Public Law 84-99, as an emergency response to a natural disaster.
