Chewalla lake [and Holly Springs] is south of the crater.You're really not going to see anything with all the cheap topos, such as the one you posted. There's not any good photos available, please do not use the satellite view on your link, the best view, [that I am aware of,] would be on a [good] satellite image [google earth, terraserver, flashearth, apollomapping,...] [...but,-still no LiDAR!]dannan14 wrote:Well, i just took a look at the topographic map of northeastern Marshall county, Mississippi and every line in the topography clearly follows the rivers and creeks.

"what is known" concerning the December 16, 1811 event is that every single detail describes a meteor impact...and, [if you were to actually investigate,] you will see the satellite view concurs, as every single line in the topography surrounds this central location, in northeastern Marshall county, Mississippi. [...and anyone with enough knowledge in stratigraphy can easily see this [and has!].]

[...and, be sure and visit the site, go to the 'video' page and study the man-made objects infused with sand and rock...: http://koolkreations.wix.com/kalopins-legacy ]
On satellite go to 34* 58' 31.38"N x 89* 24' 17.15"W
-from this point, pan out to see a lighter green circular pattern [some development and erosion...] extending over the Tennessee state line. It does not stand out so obvious and may be quite vague at first, until you continue to pan in and out and follow every creek and every line in the topography.
Once you have recognized the circular depression, pan out to just passed where Mill Pond road and Early grove road meet, this would be the inner southeastern rim and just to the east of this is a white sand creek that, when followed up passed the Wolf river bottoms, to the west and back down passed the impression, will show this similar pattern extending out to the edge of the embayment.
Now follow each river to the north, from the Mississippi river down through the state of Mississippi to view the larger waves from the shock. Draw a line down the middle of the New Madrid bend straight to the depression in north Slayden and view the lines existing in the topography showing the angle, direction and force of a meteor impact that occurred on December 16, 1811...
Please give this close study.
Do you see this design in the landscape?
Does the topography seem to all surround new Madrid, Mo. or north Slayden, Ms.?
Would an earthquake be able to move so much land northward ["upper mid-land drift"]?
What mechanisms are available to produce such a design?
Would an ice sheet be able to cause this anomaly [moraines?]?
What are the current explanations for all this topography and all these events and what do all the original accounts say?, do they indicate tectonic activity alone?, or do they all seem to be describing a meteor impact?
I hope you take the time and study every single detail and please let me know what you find...
Does a meteor impact have validity, or do current descriptions explain what had occurred?
Did many thousands die without any recognition, or was it just the couple/few hundred currently believed?
How important is it to find the truths and to teach actual science and history to properly educate the next generation and to disregard the nonsense that has been taught, concerning these events, so far?
All this will never find "right side up" unless it has all received the amount of investigation that it all deserves...and this is only one little piece to such a great puzzle. At least now there is a choice between reality and delusion?
Study all this new research concerning terrestrial impact cratering and see how understanding that the Mediterranean sea, Hudson bay and Mississippi embayment are remnants of impacts changes history, science and, hopefully the future... ;-]
