Mississippi Alluvial Plain, Alluvial plain in southern Louisiana to southern Illinois, United States.

The Mississippi Alluvial Plain extends across seven states, featuring flat terrain with elevations ranging from 100 to 300 feet above sea level.

The New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811-1812 caused significant changes in river courses and reshaped the landscape of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain.

The region supports extensive agricultural activities, with farmers producing large quantities of soybeans, cotton, and rice across the fertile soil deposits.

Multiple wildlife refuges within the plain provide opportunities for bird watching, particularly during fall and spring migrations along the Mississippi Flyway.

The plain contains one of North America's largest continuous wetland systems, featuring distinct ecosystems with specialized plant and animal communities.
