Situation.


st. Paul occupies perhaps the most eligible
and commanding, and also one of the most
beautiful locations on the Upper Mississippi
Commercially it is the key to all the vast
region north of it, and by the Minnesota river
to the immense valley drained through that
important tributary to the Father of Waters
The approach to it by the river from below is
grand and imposing. The traveller, after leav-
ing Dubuque, more than three hundred miles
below, sees nothing to remind him of city, or
even prosperous business town, until he
rounds the bend in the river below St. Paul,
and her tall spires, substantial business houses
and neat dwellings burst upon his view.
BY the general course of the river, st. Paul
is situated upon the east bank of the Mississip-
p The local course of the river, however, at
this particular point is from sOuth-yalSt to
northeast. This circumstance oftenS5nfuses
strangers in casting about for the points of the
compass. The site of the town is elevated, and
rests upon two benches running at right an
giles with the river--one rising from thirty to
forty feet above high water mark, the other
about sixty feet. 1t is irrcgularly laid out,
and extends along the river the distance of a
mile and n half The channel the whole dis
tancc in front of the town is dcep-ailorJing
ample means for the purposes of steamboat
navigation in seasons OF the lowest water.
