Mississippi

It ranges from 3 ft way at the head-waters in northern Minnesota down to 200ft at the base near New Orleans. Between St. Paul, MN and Baton Rouge, LA, the Army Corps of Engineers use a system of 29 locks & dams to maintain a 9 foot depth for commercial barge traffic. From Baton Rouge to the Gulf of Mexico, they maintain a 45 foot depth to allow ocean-going ships access to ports in Baton Rouge. Through New Orleans, the river depth averages around 200 feet.

Named by Algonkian speaking Indians, the Mississippi can be translated as Father of Waters. The Indus river in South Asia is known as the Father of Rivers

Not much. The two highest points that I found in Mississippi did not exceed 950 feet, as I recall. One was in the upper NorthEast corner of the state, which is getting close to the Tennesse (think Mountains) border. Another is at a rest stop on the Natchez Trace Parkway just south of Mathiston exit(or Hiway 82). It has a name of something like "Big Mountain" or something and it does provide a nice view of the area. It was the 2nd highest point.
