This spring has hydrated the people that have lived in ‘The Bottoms” for hundreds of years. The bottoms is a nature enthused environment that lies right net to the Mississippi river and only have about 200 people living here. Right off of a main highway that runs into Missouri, Kentucky and even Kansas, there is a natural spring that people have been using as far as I can remember. My grandmother used to send my dad to have him fill up gallons upon gallons of this water because she refused to use anything else. My family uses it to this day as much as we can and I would like to get this spring on the map. Thanks
