[edit] Bridges

I added a first-cut Bridges section following the model of the Chicago River article. Years should be added, the list of bridges should be completed, and formatting and other models (separate article, etc.) may be worth considering. A reference to the Milwaukee Bridge War may be appropriate. Edurant 00:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Watershed size

I couldn't help noticing that "The Milwaukee River watershed drains over 900 square miles", but "The Milwaukee River watershed covers 830 square miles". Since a watershed (in North American usage) is the area drained by the river, these two statements cannot both be correct. Would someone who can site an authoritative source please correct this.

[edit] History

Changed the hyperlink to point to the Mississippe River from Mississippi state. I think this is what it should be. It would be great if someone could double check this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.101.169.207 (talk) 20:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
