Mississippi Physical Map

Mississippi’s western half is the alluvial floodplain of America’s largest river system — a physical fact that shapes everything else.

Rendered from SRTM 30m elevation data + Natural Earth rivers/lakes + US Census state boundary. Four versions below, all free.

Mississippi relief wall art

Mississippi on its own, with strong shaded relief and no labels. The dark version has the most contrast. The light version uses far less ink on a home printer.

The physical geography of Mississippi

All of Mississippi lies on the Gulf Coastal Plain. The northwest is the Delta, a flat floodplain between the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers. A line of bluffs made of wind-blown silt marks its eastern edge. The rest of the state is gently rolling hills, with the highest ground in the northeast, where Woodall Mountain reaches 806 feet. Pine forests cover the south, which ends at a short Gulf coast sheltered by barrier islands.

Major rivers

  • Mississippi
  • Yazoo
  • Pearl
  • Big Black
  • Pascagoula
  • Tombigbee

Built from real data, not stock images.

Every Mississippi physical map on this page was rendered from NASA SRTM 30-meter elevation data, with hydrography from Natural Earth and the shoreline-clipped state outline from the US Census Bureau. Each map is colored over that state’s own elevation range, and the relief shading is exaggerated so gentle terrain still shows.
