Michigan

Michigan's topography is characterized by a diverse landscape that transitions from flat plains to rugged hills. The state comprises two peninsulas, with the Upper Peninsula showcasing more pronounced elevation changes, including its highest point, Mount Arvon, which rises to 1,979 feet (603 meters). In contrast, the Lower Peninsula features relatively flat terrain with some rolling hills, particularly in its southern regions. The average elevation across Michigan is around 862 feet (263 meters), and notable features include the Great Lakes, which greatly influence the state’s ecology and climate​. Additionally, the landscape is marked by various lakes, rivers, and even significant sand dunes along the Lake Michigan shoreline, some reaching heights over 200 feet (61 meters)​. This unique blend of geographic features contributes to Michigan's rich natural beauty and ecological diversity.
