I dunno what you mean by not sure how I am measuring this? I'm not measuring anything, I live in Washington Missouri right beside the MO river and once it gets around the Illinois border it's called the Mississippi.
It's kinda the same as how they name the oceans different names even though they're all connected. Just thought it weird
I'm not out here taking measurements though, and didn't know "a river is determined by flow rate"

I always thought it was weird how they change the name of the river to Mississippi after the Missouri river passes through stl
