The packet boat replaced the Missouri River steamer primarily due to its efficiency and adaptability for the river's changing conditions. Packet boats, often designed for shallow waters, could navigate the Missouri River's fluctuating depths better than larger steamers, allowing for more reliable service. Additionally, packet boats were typically smaller and faster, enabling them to make more frequent stops to pick up and drop off passengers and cargo, ultimately improving transportation and trade along the river.
