Historic River Meanders near Natchez

As was stated above, alluvial forces continually cutting against the same aeolian deposits. Must be the ultimate path of least resistance in the area because it has always gone back to historic Natchez each time it changed course.

Back in those times they didn't know they could rotate crops to keep the soil fertile. They would plant acerage and then abandon it after the harvest. Planters had plots of land all up and down the river and kept their primary residence in Natchez, the natural choice due to its flood proof elevation. It was "the country club" of old. They all built their show off palaces there and is why there is such a high concentration of fine old homes there.
