this large map shows the entire bubble & double bend at once
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=16&n=4050794&e=280412&s=200&size=m&symshow=n
on it you can see not only the road entrance where the education pays pic
was taken
but all 3 tristate points too
which i have decided to economize by posting only 1 for now
namely lucky pierre the middle one kymotnm
since they all present fairly typical & similar river views anyway
as the river flows generally right to left on the map
the triplet tristate points are by name
reading from left to right
first lower or left kymotn or kymotnl
aka west kymotn or kymotnw
then middle kymotn or kymotnm
& finally upper kymotn or kymotnu
aka right kymotn or kymotnr
aka east kymotn or kymotne
mnemonically i prefer the slightly awkward code sequence kymotnl kymotm
kymotnr
to the perhaps more natural kymotnl kymotnm kymotnu
or kymotnw kymotnm kymotne
since only the first sequence reads alphabetically in normal order & indeed
left to right as promised
but anyway here hopefully is kymotnm at midframe & midriver
facing east along kytn toward mo from the se corner of the bubble
which itself is just visible in the foreground
the part of mo you see opposite here is actually east of the mississippi
the character of the lands & people within the bubble is generally quiet
agricultural & pristine
just here the mississippi actually ran backwards during the great quake of
the early 1800s
