Kentucky
Kentucky's topography is characterized by a diverse landscape that varies significantly across its regions. The state features rolling hills, plateaus, and mountainous areas, particularly in the eastern section where the Cumberland Plateau rises to the highest point at Black Mountain, which reaches 4,139 feet above sea level. This plateau is part of the Appalachian Mountains and is marked by steep valleys and rugged terrain. In contrast, the Bluegrass Region in the north-central area offers gentler, rolling meadows interspersed with limestone hills. The western part of the state includes the Jackson Purchase Region, characterized by flat floodplains and low hills, which ultimately lead to the Mississippi River. The terrain’s elevation ranges from the lowest point at 257 feet along the river, illustrating Kentucky's varied landscape shaped by its geological history.
