Postcard: Headwaters of the Mississippi River

Postcard is untitled on the front.

Printed on back of postcard:

HEADWATERS OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
Itasca State Park, Minn.
Here, at the Source of the Mississippi River and many other historical spots around Lake Itasca, the State of Minnesota has created its largest park, known as Itasca State Park.  The river itself plays a great part in inland water transportation and flood control for our central states.

The tree-trunk marker pictured on the front of this postcard has been carved with the following inscription:  Here 1475 ft above the ocean the mighty Mississippi begins to flow on its winding way 2552 miles to the Gulf of Mexico.
