Description:	The Mississippi Delta of the mid-1990s was a landscape of mile-long rows of cotton growing from rich dark loam that ran flat from horizon to horizon. Delta towns and hamlets were still connected principally by two-lane blacktop highways that often ran past expanses of fields, catfish ponds, and an occasional swamp.

In winter, storms occasionally coated the flat roads withsheets of dangerous black ice
