About The Mississippi Geography Education Fund After discussions with the Phil Hardin Foundation in 1989, the National Geographic Education Foundation agreed to establish an endowed fund to encourage and improve the teaching of geography in Mississippi and to increase and disseminate geographic knowledge more broadly in the state. The Mississippi Geography Education Fund is the first state endowment established in the Society's Education Foundation. To initiate the Fund, the National Geographic Society announced its intention to provide up to $500,000 in matching funds to create an endowment. The Phil Hardin Foundation granted an initial $250,000 to the Mississippi Geography Education Fund. This grant was matched by the Society. It is the hope of the Hardin Foundation and the Society that the Fund will eventually exceed $1,000,000 through additional contributions. To this aim, the National Geographic Society is prepared to match an additional $250,000 in gifts to the Fund. From its inception in 1992 through 2000, the

MISSISSIPPI GEOGRAPHIC ALLIANCE Return to the MGA Home Page Mississippi Geography Education Fund About 12 years ago the National Geographic Society issued a challenge to all 50 states. If each state would raise one-half million dollars, the National Geographic Society would match the money and establish a Geography Education Fund for the purpose of encouraging geographic education through innovative projects. The Phil Hardin Foundation of Meridian started the ball rolling and several foundations and institutions in Mississippi raised the $500,000. Our state then became the first in the country to establish a geography education fund. The Mississippi Geography Education Fund was established to encourage, increase, and improve the teaching of geography in Mississippi, especially at the K-12 levels, and to increase and disseminate geographic knowledge throughout the state. Each year the Mississippi Geography Education Fund disburses up to $90,000 in Mississippi. Proposals for founding are accepted from teachers, schools, school districts, libraries, museums, educational

When you are finished with the large map, simply close the map window. You should be returned to this window. The Regions of Mississippi Mississippi is divided into four geographic regions. These four regions are further divided into several sub-regions that are defined by culture that has been directly influenced by the geology of the land. The four main regions and their sub-regions are: The Gulf Coast The Coastal Terrace The Barrier Islands The Southern Wooded Prairies The Pine Belt The Central Prairie The Delta The Mississippi-Yazoo River Basin The Loess Bluffs The Northern Highlands The Red Clay Hills The Flatwoods The Pontotoc Ridge The Black Prairie The Northeastern Hills These four regions each have their own history and pattern of settlement. Because of this, they each have their own cultural identities; some say they even have their own linguistic dialect. Even religious affiliation is different among these regions. And yet, the people of these regions fiercely identify as Mississippians. The Gulf Coast The Coastal Terrace The Barrier Islands The Barrier Islands lie some 10 to 20 miles offshore. These islands consist of sand dunes that barely break the waves of the sea. They are generally only a half mile to a mile wide and several miles long. Marshy lagoons support diverse and delicate wildlife in the interior of these islands. The islands serve an important geological function. They protect the mainland from the ravages of sea weather, sparing the mainland the brunt of the frequent hurricanes that make landfall here. On the inland side of one of these islands – Ship Island – the LeMoyne brothers set anchor and rowed ashore to found the first settlement of the Lousiana colony. The islands are generally uninhabitated except for tourists, sun-worshippers, and sportsmen who arrive by boat for daylong excursions.

Click on the map to go to a specific region. Andrew Birrell and Ray Sterner. Click on Mr. Birrell's name just above and you can view other wonderful maps. by Isaac Angert The Mississippi drains 1,245,000 square miles (41% of America). Geographically it is the forth longest river in the world after Africa's Nile, the Amazon of South America, and the Congo in central Africa. Its watershed ranks third among the world's rivers; after that of the Amazon and the Congo. Its discharge into the gulf is again third after the same two rivers, with a volume of 651,000 cubic feet per second at its mouth. Flowing through The Great Plains the Mississippi changes little in elevation, only 1475 ft. from its headwaters in a small Minnesota lake called Itasca. It meanders through pine forests and marsh in northern Minnesota forming the shape of a question mark. The river spills over St. Anthony falls and heads south to flow between towering bluffs in Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. When it drops into Missouri it is met by the Illinois, the Ohio and the Missouri rivers. The Missouri doubles the Mississippi and the Ohio doubles it again. With its flow quadrupled the Mighty Mississippi moves out into the delta. Here the Mississippi finally has the room to meander through cotton fields. There are no hills on the delta until the river changes course and runs up against the bluffs at Vicksburg. At the town of St.Francisville it leaves the bluffs again, this time for good, as it goes off through swamps and bayous to unload its silt at the end.

June Hollis My name is June Hollis, and this was my first web site. I teach Advanced World Geography at Brandon High School in Brandon, Mississippi. I have taught English and social studies for 25 years at schools in the central Mississippi area including Florence Junior and High Schools, Chastain Junior High, and Pearl Junior High and have been at Brandon for 18 years. It is a wonderful school with wonderful students, faculty, and administration. I am lucky to call it home. I am a HUGE Brandon football fan! I earned my BS in English and History at the University of Southern Mississippi in 1965 and my Masters in Education with emphasis in History from Mississippi State University in 1980. I have earned post-graduate hours in geography and history from the University of North Alabama, University of Missouri at Columbia, California State at Chico, University of West Georgia, Mississippi University for Women, Mississippi State University, and University of Mississippi. In the summer of 1998, I received a Hayes Fulbright grant to study Eastern Europe. Along with fifteen other teachers from Mississippi, I spent five weeks in Prague, Czech Republic and Bratislava, Slovak Republic studying architecture, art, history, literature, government, and other subjects. We traveled extensively throughout the region. This web site is a result of that trip. I hope to be able to post works done by students from anywhere. Please contact me if you are interested in contributing or participating in this project.
