Sioux City 36,830 ft³/s
Omaha 39,100 ft³/s
Kansas City 56,950 ft³/s
Boonville 69,220 ft³/s
Hermann 87,950 ft³/s [7]At its confluence, the Missouri nearly doubles the volume of the Mississippi, accounting for 45 percent of the flow at St. Louis in normal times and as much as 70 percent of the flow during some droughts.[10] It is the second-largest tributary by volume of the Mississippi, trailing the Ohio. The longest river in the United States of America. Heads in Montana at the junction of the Jefferson River and the Madison River, near the mouth of the Gallatin River, then flows generally South-East to the Mississippi River North of St. Louis, Missouri. Forms parts of the South Dakota-Nebraska, Nebraska-Iowa, Nebraska-Missouri and Kansas-Missouri boundaries. The lowest elevation in Nebraska at 840 feet near Richardson.[1] The headwaters of the Missouri are in the Rocky Mountains of southwestern Montana, near the small town of Three Forks, rising in the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin rivers. The longest headwaters stream, and thus the Missouri's hydrologic source, likely begins at Brower's Spring, which flows to the Jefferson by way of several other named streams.[11] From the confluence of its main tributaries near the city of Three Forks, the Missouri flows north through mountainous canyons, emerging from the mountains near Great Falls, where a large cataract historically marked the navigable limit of the river. It flows east across the plains of Montana into North Dakota, then turns southeast, flowing into South Dakota, and along the north and eastern edge of Nebraska, forming part of its border with South Dakota and all of its border with Iowa, flowing past Sioux City and Omaha. It forms the entire boundary between Nebraska and Missouri, and part of the boundary between Missouri and Kansas. At Kansas City, it turns generally eastward, flowing across Missouri where it joins the Mississippi just north of St. Louis.
