Mississippi

Mississippi's topography is characterized by its low-lying terrain, predominantly shaped by river systems and geological formations. The state features a variety of landscapes, including the expansive Mississippi Alluvial Plain, which forms the fertile heart of the Delta region. This area is characterized by gentle slopes, with elevations gradually decreasing from about 210 feet at the northern border to near sea level at the Gulf Coast. Mississippi's highest point, Woodall Mountain, rises only 806 feet, illustrating the overall flatness of the region​. The state is also interspersed with rolling hills, particularly in the north, where regions such as the Pontotoc Ridge and the Tombigbee Hills provide slight elevations amid otherwise flat surroundings. The terrain is predominantly underlain by sandy and clayey soils, supporting dense forests and rich agricultural land​. Overall, Mississippi's topography is a patchwork of flat plains, low hills, and river valleys, creating a landscape shaped significantly by water and soil dynamics.
