US State Highpointing: Woodall Mountain, highest point in Mississippi

Woodall Mountain is located in Tishomingo County (named after a prominent Chickasaw leader) in northeastern Mississippi, near the town of Iuka. It's part of the Appalachian Plateau region and is situated within the Appalachian Mountains. Woodall has an elevation of 807 feet above sea level, making it the highest point in Mississippi. It also offers insane views for those who do it in daylight hours. But Woodall Mountain isn’t just famous for its awesome views. It’s also known as the bloodiest U.S. state high point. Back in 1862, Union and Confederate soldiers of the Civil War fought for control of the hill in the “Battle of Iuka.” Back then, Woodall Mountain was known as Yow Mountain.
