The immediate cause is the removal of vegetation. Unprotected, dry soil surfaces then blow away with the wind or are washed away by flash floods, leaving infertile lower soil layers that bake in the sun and become an unproductive hardpan. Overgrazing destroys valuable plant species, leaving mostly unpalatable ones.

About Wilkinson County. Woodville is located on Highway 61 about halfway between Natchez and St. Francisville, La., a journey of about 130 miles from New Orleans. Woodville was first settled near the turn of the nineteenth century and was incorporated as a town in 1811. A short time later it was chosen as the county seat of Wilkinson County, which was formed in 1802 in the extreme southwest corner of Mississippi. Originally, the territory was known as the county of Bourbon, and later as Adams County.
