Loes bluffs

It's very errosove silt that was wind blown and accumulated over thousands of years. That's why kudzu was introduced to slow the erosion down. Mudslides happen often in Natchez. They set up retaining walls and other means to slow it down. Vidalia side is flat due to prevailing wind and the river wants to meander west.

I think you guys have all the parts, but it can be stated more simply that what you have.
1) all the sediments at one time were silt-sized, and these formed the loess deposits.
2) the river runs through and cuts loess deposits into loess cliffs
3) over time the river meanders making one side of the river flatter (point bar) and the other steeper (cut bank)
4) what we see today is the result of a continuous eastward migration of a meander cutting into the land leaving flat land on the west side. It is now a straight portion of the river.
