"The map is truly a beautiful bit of geologic history. For more info on it, see my previous blog post. So many amazing swirls and details in the river's course. Rendering it as a slippy map makes it easy to see the map in great detail, for instance the Old River Control Structure, a site threatened by the floodwaters of 2011.

Check out this flood plain, for example. The satellite view contains echoes of the various old meanders, too, like these curved fields."
