MISSISSIPPI. 



Area 47, 1 56 square miles ; population 827,922. From the north- 

 east the surface of the State slopes with many undulations, west to 

 the Mississippi River and south to the Gulf of Mexico. Extending 

 through the centre of the Slate is a broad low ridge, on which are 

 cultivated farms and e.xtensive dense forests. The larger portion 

 of the surface may be described as rolling prairie, in places broken 

 and undulating. From the line of the Vicksburg and Meridian 

 Railroad between Jackson and Meridian, an extensive pine forest 

 stretches to the Gulf of Mexico. The forests of the State all

 reached via the numerous steamboat lines which penetrate the

 plan is to camp in the vicinity of some farmhouse where neces- 

 sary supplies may be obtained.
