The river that runs north
1826
Georgetown, Minnesota
![]()
The Red flows north to Hudson Bay, so its headwaters thaw weeks before its mouth. Meltwater arrives at ice still locked solid downstream and spreads sideways across a valley with almost no gradient, a rise of a few feet can put water miles out. The flood of 1826 was the largest recorded, and the pattern has repeated ever since.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
