What are major tributaries of the Mississippi river?

The two largest tributaries are the Missouri River (west) and the Ohio River (east).Other tributaries of the Mississippi River are :Black RiverRoot RiverMinnesota RiverSt Croix RiverLa Crosse RiverWisconsin RiverRock RiverIowa RiverSkunk RiverDes Moines RiverIllinois RiverArkansas RiverObion RiverRed RiverOld RiverAtchafalaya RiverTennessee River and Cumberland River flow into the Ohio River less than 50 miles before the Junction with the Mississippi River. These two rivers along with the Ohio more or less double the size of the river at the Cairo, Illinois junction. The junction of the Missouri and the Mississippi just below St. Louis also essentially doubles the river.Old River Lock and Dam just above Angola, La. essentially blocked a large percentage of the river from flowing into the Atchafalaya Basin and it also increases the size of the Mississippi river by about a 1/3 at least. I guess theoretically the Atchafalaya is fed by the Mississippi rather than a tributary but it is important to name this river as it plays a vital role in increasing the size of the River and helping make the Mississippi Navigable by Ship up to Baton Rouge which is 235 miles up river from the Head of the Passes. This would have been impossible without dam at Old River which cut back the flow of the Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya River basin by up to as much as 50 percent.The River is Navigable by Barge from the mouth of the river to Minneapolis area. The lower river from Cairo to the mouth is about 950 miles several miles shorter than the original path thanks to cutoffs and cuts made by the Corps of Engineers. The Distance from Cairo to Dam at St. Anthony Falls at Minneapolis is 854 miles so the river is navigable for a little over 1800 miles although most barges would not go past the loading terminal near Fort Jackson or Baptiste Collete about 10 miles above the Head of the passes. However with the closure of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet the Baptiste Collete route to the east is rarely used anymore except with a single barge which can be towed if it gets rough.
