A person visiting Arkansas will find that the various sections of the state look quite different. Stretching across the northern part of Arkansas are the Ozark Mountains, which have some very beautiful scenery. In the northwestern region is some of the most fertile farming land in the state. Here the farmers raise cattle, dairy products, and fruits in large quantities. Below the Ozark Mountains is a broad fertile valley, known as the Arkansas River Valley. Strangely enough, it contains several high mountain peaks.
Blue Mountain and Magazine Mountain, both about 2,900 feet, are the highest points in the state. These and other peaks to the south are part of the Ouachita Mountains. The people in this region mine the valuable coal and bauxite, and produce lumber and wood products on a large scale. More bauxite is produced in Arkansas than in any other state in the United States. This area has many gas wells from which natural gas flows. The only diamond deposits in the United States are found in these mountains. In the Ouachita Mountains there are many mineral and hot springs, which people visit for their health. The city of Hot Springs is one of the most popular health resorts in the United States. The largest section of Arkansas, more than half the state, is the Mississippi River Valley.

Moving to a state you don’t know much about can be frightening. After getting a little bit more familiar with what a state can offer, you can easily decide if it suits your family and career needs. Every state has its history which in time creates a certain character for the state’s inhabitants.
The state of Mississippi is located in southern America, with 4 bordering states- Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama- and the Gulf of Mexico. The state got its name from the famous Mississippi River, which is the next largest river in America after Missouri. Its largest city, as well as its capital, is Jackson City.
Mississippi State is covered with forests on more than 50% of its area. This obviously makes it a big lumber exporter, as well as one of America’s most important furniture manufacturers. Mississippi’s weather is favorable to outdoor activities, being warm during the long summers and quite balmy during winters. Mississippi can sometimes be victim of hurricanes in its southern area, but nowadays damages are reduced to minimum due to modern equipment.
The Mississippi River created many floods over the years, including the biggest one in 1927 which then severely damaged Mississippians. Floods created not only damages, but a fertile sediment plain which formed the Mississippi Delta.
With a population of 37%, Mississippi is the state with the largest African American community in The US. It’s also the state with the largest number of churches compared to its population.
