Description
The Ohio River, Which streams westward from Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,to Cairo,Illinois is the largest tributary, by volume, of the Mississippi River in the United States, The Ohio River is Consider larger than the Mississippi River and is 981 miles long and borders 6 states and drains into 14 states and is the source of drinking water to 3 million people.
During the 19th century, the river was the southern boundary of the Northwest Territory. It is sometimes considered as the western extension of the Mason-Dixon Line that divided Pennsylvania from Maryland, and thus part of the border between free and slaves territory,and between the Northern and Southern United States or Upper South. Where the river was narrow, it was the way to freedom for thousands of slaves escaping to the North,many helped by free blacks and whites of the Underground Railroad resistance movement.
Large Barges loaded with containers filled with products and goods from around the world are towed or pushed by tugboats along the Ohio River.
