Since the definition of confluence is the point where 2 or more streams
(rivers) meet, I would keep it simple and say it is at Calhoun Point. Is there
something at the given coordinates, say a landmark or rock that someone could
describe to prove they were there? If you keep it simple, more people will
make the trek to do the cache in my opinion.

I am working on a Earth Cache overlooking the confluence of the IL and MS
rivers with a great view that hopefully will be ready for the New Year Event.
The theme is going to be where is the actual confluence. Since there are
several islands at the confluence, where the “confluence” is actually is not
exactly clear. Some say it is at Calhoun Point where the waters meet and some
say it is 2 miles downstream in Grafton after the islands. I cannot find any
kind of “official” definition. I did lots of googling but could not find
anything I would call official or specific enough to determine where the
confluence actually is. Does anyone know of a definition I could use?
Thanks! Jim Bensman
