Providence Canyon in Georgia was formed by a combination of poor farming practices in the 19th century that led to erosion of the soft, sandy, and clay-rich soils in the area, resulting in the creation of the colorful, canyon-like formations seen today. It is not composed of a specific rock type but rather a combination of sedimentary materials that have been shaped by erosion.
