How long is the Mississippi Missouri river?
The Mississippi river is considered the largest river system in North America. Some sources reference it as the longest as well, at 2340 miles (3765 km) long. Others claim this length for the Missouri River and list the Mississippi as only 2320 miles (3730 km) in defined length. Both are subjective based on the definition of the tributaries used (especially with the Missouri, where the reported length can vary from 2320 to 2540 miles!). Taken together, the Jefferson/Missouri and the Mississippi form the longest river system in North America. If measured from the source of the Jefferson at Brower's Spring (Montana), to the Gulf of Mexico, the length of the Mississippi-Missouri-Jefferson combination is approximately 3,900 miles (6,300 km). This makes it the 3rd longest river system in the world. The length of the Mississippi River is 6,084 km or 3,781 miles. Source: S. Liu, P. Lu, D. Liu, P. Jin, W.
