Students of the Hernando De Soto expedition are in general agreement that he crossed the Mississippi River at Quizquiz on June 18, 1541. There has been considerable debate about the location of Quizquiz, but not a great deal about the location of the Mississippi River when De Soto crossed it. Following the conclusion of Phillips in the Phillips, Ford, and Griffin volume it was generally assumed that Fisk’s River Stage 15 approximated the location of the river in 1541. This conclusion is questioned and more appropriate channel correlations are suggested
