Mississippi River Research Paper

On the Mississippi River in New Orleans, there is a place where ships drop out of the water. These ships catch a current and go at least thirty feet, and then the ships will continue to descend to the east or south. This movement of the ships shows that there is a relationship between the rivers and the terrain that is around them, which can be seen with any river, not just the Mississippi. For the New Orleans River, the adjacent terrain is Cajun Country. There is a triangle formed in southern Louisiana from the French Acadian world.
Some of the first settlers of the Atchafalaya were the Houma, Opelousa, Tunica-Biloxi, Chitimacha, and the Atakapa Tribes (STU). When the Choctaw settled on the Atchafalaya, they called it the “hacha falaia,” meaning ‘long river.’ Towns around the Atchafalaya were soon founded and New Orleans became the capital of Louisina. All of this played a large role in the Atchafalaya and the culture of it.
The Mississippi River has created the landscape for most of Louisiana. When a landscape is formed or changed due to a water source, or multiple water sources, it is called karst topography. Over time, the Mississippi River has not remained as just one channel like it was in the past, but it has instead taken out land and created channels all throughout Louisiana. The
Because of the Atchafalaya River basin, there is very rich agriculture in Louisiana. Many crops are grown and harvested from the rich farmland. The river produces most of the corn, soybeans, wheat, cattle, and hogs grown in the United States (UD). Soil from this area is full of nutrients and other things that are necessary and beneficial to crops. The river has many other streams and rivers that run off into the Atchafalaya. There is a lot of wildlife around the Atchafalaya. There are many bears, raccoons, alligators, catfish, crawfish and shrimp in/around the
