When you hit mountains, you're no longer in the deep south.

Going east to west, I would define it as Savannah - Montgomery -- Jackson -- Shreveport - Dallas. Roughly that latitude. Anything north would be mid-south.

Just my opinion. Might not be "official" (whatever that is).

Some might define it as the latitude around Bham--Atlanta and South of that. That's fine too I guess.

That’s an interesting map. I was going to say anything north of Cullman starts to get dicey.

Birmingham is definitely Deep South in my opinion.

Miami doesn't count, lol


Miami is a mix of Havana North and NYC South, which is why it isn’t considered Deep South.

This is the best map of the Deep South I’ve seen.

Central and West Texas, and northwest Arkansas should not be included, for example. One could make a very strong case for southeast Oklahoma, though.

If the Klan is how you qualify Deep South than I guess Indiana is Deep South now since they had the largest Klan organization in the country.

My biased opinion would even include Dunklin and Pemiscot Counties from Missouri (those bottom 2 counties).

If you've ever been there, you'd never guess you were in Missouri.


You could also include Mississippi, New Madrid, and Scott Counties. In other words the Missouri Bootheel. There is a lot of cotton and rice raised in the Bootheel. There are tons of kids from this area go to college at Ole Miss and Mississippi State. And it's not just because they are closer to Ole Miss than they are to Mizzou.

I wouldn't consider any of Louisiana as the deep south. It's only Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.

You clearly do not understand the makeup of the state then. Damn near everything north of I-10 is as Deep South as it gets. Especially the I-20 corridor

Okay.. I said Louisiana, Mississippi, Bama and Georgia. I thought it included some of Florida, but wasn't sure, I just knew that south Florida isn't deep south.

But not everything south of the mason-dixon is the deep south right?
