There were temporary river waterfalls where the Mississippi ran backwards during 1811-12 earthquakes. It happened when a thrust fault created a sudden dam several feet high near the bottom of the river loop near New Madrid.
The larger part of the river flowed under the railroad and highway bridges and about a half mile north. At that point, it veered east and entered the Columbia River almost two miles east of where it does today. In 1904, a large flood partially blocked the secondary channel and it began to run dry during the fish runs.
