What 3 states come together where the Ohio River joins the Mississippi River?

I couldn't find an online map that shows both the rivers and the states' names.

The three states are Illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri.

Here's a map with all the info if you need it, but you'll need to zoom in and then navigate around until you find the southernmost part of Illinois to see where these rivers and states come together.

To find the answer to this question, you can use a map or an online mapping tool. Here are the steps to find the three states that come together at the junction of the Ohio River and the Mississippi River:

1. Open a map or go to an online mapping tool, such as Google Maps.

2. Locate the Ohio River and the Mississippi River on the map. The Ohio River flows from the east and the Mississippi River flows from the north and northwest.

3. Look for the area where these two rivers meet. This point is known as the confluence of the rivers.

4. Pay attention to the states located near the confluence of the Ohio River and the Mississippi River. There should be three states meeting at this point.

5. Trace the borders of the neighboring states to identify the three states that come together. The states that typically meet at the confluence include Illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri.

In conclusion, the three states that come together at the junction of the Ohio River and the Mississippi River are Illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri.
