Talk:Mississippi Delta

Is this right? Part of my family lives in Southern Illinois and I would never consider parts of Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee as "the Delta". Just further south. Rmhermen 18:52, Dec 13, 2003 (UTC)
- I have no idea, I was curious and found the definitions on the linked National Parks Service site (http://www.cr.nps.gov/delta/volume2/natural.htm). ( 18:57, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's confusing. I'd call this "Mississippi River Valley" or "Mississippi River basin", but delta is more particularly the lower parts near Louisiana and Mississippi, I would think. --Delirium 06:29, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)
- In Mississippi, "The Delta" refers to areas along the Mississippi River noted for very flat land with extremely fertile soil in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee, while the "Mississippi River Valley" refers to states along the entire course of the river.
