Jefferson County
Jefferson County features a diverse and rugged topography that reflects its geological history. The northern half of the county is characterized by steep ridges and deep ravines, creating a dramatic landscape that rises significantly over short distances. The highest point in the county reaches approximately 1,060 feet near Valles Mines, while the lowest area, at the confluence of Isle Du Dois Creek and the Mississippi River, sits at about 380 feet. In contrast, the southern region of Jefferson County offers more gently rolling terrain, with wider crests and shallower valleys, comprising about 45% of the area. This variance in elevation and slope plays a crucial role in the local hydrology, as many rivers and streams traverse the land, contributing to both its ecological richness and potential flood risks.
