Editor Tips & Helpful Hints
  • Emerald Mound is roughly the size of 2.5 by 1.5 football fields, and is about 35 feet tall. The scale of this man-made undertaking comes into perspective when you consider the pancake-flat surroundings of the southern Mississippi landscape.

Address:
Natchez Trace Parkway Milepost 10.3
North of Natchez, Mississippi
