thousands of acres of farm land and
prairie were rendered uninhabitable by
being transformed into bogs and lakes and
a large island in the Mississippi, near New
Madrid, sank beneath the waters to the
tops of it's tallest trees
At the same time the Sunk Lands of
Arkansas were formed overnight-their
area Is about 1900 square miles-and
equally startling changes were made near
the head of the delta of the Mississippi.
Ono great sunken area produced In this
region is eighty miles long by thirty-f1ve

lakes about the head Of the delta were
formed by the sinking OF land in 1911.
while much Of the dry land now there re-

ancient lakes into great chasms resulting
from the shocks.
