Has the river been cutting into the land on the MS side?



this is how i see it


the LA side was where the river path has been moving from, leaving natural flat lands comprised of sediment

it has been further shifting towards MS and cutting into the hilly lands

of course, this has all been slowed/killed by man made levees and control

This is your answer. La side has black dirt, were the other side has red dirt. That and over the years, plate drift to the west pushed up the land on the east side of the river.
