Best Answer

the 3 rivers that drain into the Mississippi river are the Missouri river, Colorado River, and the Ohio river

correction: Actually, the Colorado River is on the western side of the continental divide and flows west, emptying into the Gulf of California. Another that empties into the Mississippi is the Arkansas.
