The Clark Creek area is full of hills, as well as valleys and level bits of land that range in elevation from 400 feet above sea level to 100 feet above sea level. The highest point in the area is on the East side near the small road that leads to the parking lot where the trail begins. Pond, MS, is in the upper right hand corner of the map in the deforested area (white area containing a small pond). The lowest point is located on the floor of the creek , a mere 100 feet above sea level. The trek starts off following a narrow drainage divide and drops nearly 200 feet in less than half a mile, not to mention the twists and turns throughout. Local relief on the this and other divides may be as great as 100 feet. The changes in the land surface are the result of erosion by the temporary streams draining into Clark Creek. The dissected area is part of the local togographic feature known as the Tunica Hills. In the area there are 4 beautiful waterfalls, ranging from 16 to 25 feet in height (and several smaller ones). Cemented zones in the Fleming Formation form the erosion resistant zones that are responsible for the waterfalls. Be careful walking in the area, some of the trails are steep and the footing can be treacherous.
