Iuka Ravine - The luka Ravine is an example of an existing natural landscape that has been artfully manipulated by manmade works in the tradition of Frederick Law Olmstead. The ravine was declared an historic district and placed on both the National and Columbus Registers of Historic Places in 1986.
