∙ 14y agoBoth the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers are important because they are natural geographical boundaries. Whoever controls these rivers, control major regions of the United States. They are used for transportation, water sources, and have major ecological advantages to the lands that border them. At the beginning of the United States, towns were formed next to major water sources for all these reasons.
