The land sticks out at the end of the Mississippi river because as it comes to it`s mouth(where the river meets the sea) it drops it`s load(mud,silt, any materials it has picked up)forming some land that lays beside it
It is the river bank. Or coast, if it is emptying into the ocean, like the Mississippi River.

For the last 1,200 years, sediment deposition has occurred primarily at the mouth of the Mississippi River's Plaquemines-Balize delta, in the area defined as the Mississippi River Delta Basin. This delta is located on the edge of the continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico. Its bird's foot configuration is characteristic of alluvial deposition in deep water. In this configuration large volumes of sediment are required to create land area; consequently, land is being lost in this delta more rapidly than it is being created.
The Mississippi river delta.
The mouth of a river is where the river flows into another body of water, such as an ocean, sea, lake, or another river. It is typically wider than the rest of the river and marks the end of the river's journey. At the mouth, the velocity of the river's flow decreases, leading to sediment deposition.

he was searching for gold but was the first to find the mouth of Mississippi river and claimed land around it which stretches into the Louisiana purchase
The low water land that is formed at the mouth of a river is called a delta.
Normally land
The floodplain is an area of flat land found on either side of a river that usually becomes wider as the river nears its mouth. A low watery formation of land at the mouth of a river is called a delta.
The mouth of a river is where the river meets the sea, so is water.
