• DESCRIPTION: The Chickasaw Bluffs are a series of four elevated landforms along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, near present-day Memphis, Tennessee. These loess bluffs rise sharply above the river, providing natural protection from flooding. Historically, they were home to the Chickasaw people, who used them as strategic defensive positions. In the 19th century, the bluffs played a key role in the development of Memphis as a major river port.
