Mississippi River Delta

The Mississippi River Delta is the confluence of the Mississippi River with the Gulf of Mexico off the southern tip of Louisiana, USA. It is the nation’s largest drainage basin and the seventh largest river delta on Earth, containing more than 4,200 square miles (11,000 square kilometers) of coastal wetlands. Its current shape, described as a “bird-foot delta” reflects the dominance the river exerts over other hydrologic and geologic forces in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
