The rainy coast country contains marshes and fertile delta lands; inland are rolling pine hills and prairies. The Mississippi dominates the many waterways, but there are other rivers (e.g., the Red River, the Ouachita, the Atchafalaya, and the Calcasieu) and the coast is threaded by many slow-moving bayous (e.g., the Teche, the Macon, and the Lafourche). There are lagoons such as Lake Ponchartrain, oxbow lakes made by Mississippi River cutoffs, and other lakes where the slow streams are clogged. A variety of recreational facilities makes the state an excellent vacationland; some of its lakes (e.g., Pontchartrain) have been highly developed as resort areas, and there is superb hunting and fishing throughout much of the region.

GEODESY is a program which provides a digital environment for teachers and students to study Earth's systems in accordance with the Geography for Life: National Geography Standards . It uses ESRI's ArcView 3.0 software as its GIS engine, and extends its capabilities with a series of external programs to enhance the user interface and to do data and image processing. It is based on the use of local data to enable the user to explore the physical and human systems in his/her own community, and then to study the spatial relationships between them. There are three core tracks to follow, each introducing the student to an essential component of geographic information systems use and analysis: Geographic Relationships , and Geographic Projects . Throughout each core track and screen, the user has access to a comprehensive database of text and graphics through the use if the GEODESY KnowledgeBase The initial GEODESY project encompassed a two year development, programming, testing and distribution period. The first prototype (Beta 1.1) was produced in April 1996, and was tested by four school across the US. These include a public 4th grade class in Orinda, California; a private 8th grade class in Slidell, Louisiana; a public magnet 12th grade class in Chalmette, Louisiana; and a 4th grade home school in Carriere, Mississippi. The latest prototype version was released in February 1997, and was tested again at the original four sites, as well as at selected school sites and science centers in California and Mississippi.
