Missouri

Missouri's topography is marked by a diverse array of landforms that contribute to its unique landscape. The state is characterized by four main physiographic regions: the Ozark Plateau, Dissected Till Plains, Mississippi Alluvial Plain, and the Osage Plains. The Ozark Plateau, located in the south, features rolling hills, steep ridges, and valleys, with elevations peaking at Taum Sauk Mountain, the highest point in Missouri at 1,772 feet. In contrast, the Dissected Till Plains to the north present a more gently rolling terrain shaped by ancient glacial activity, rich in fertile soils ideal for agriculture. Meanwhile, the Mississippi Alluvial Plain in the southeast is characterized by flat, fertile floodplains and wetlands, created by the meandering Mississippi River, which defines much of Missouri's eastern border. The state's terrain supports a variety of ecosystems, from the oak-hickory forests of the hills to the prairie grasslands of the plains.
