Sunken Trace
Between Natchez and Lower Choctaw Boundary, the eastern bank of the Mississippi is composed of easily eroded loess soil blown down off the plains during the last ice age. The traffic of millions of travelers over thousands of years (Indians were in Mississippi 5,000 years ago) have caused the old trace to sink in several locations. - Photo Credit: David DeVoss
