Indiana

Indiana's topography is characterized by gently rolling hills, primarily in the central and southern regions, and flat plains in the north. The state's average elevation is around 650 feet, with the highest point being Hoosier Hill at approximately 1,257 feet, located in Wayne County. The lowest elevation, about 320 feet, is found along the Ohio River near the Indiana-Kentucky border​. Indiana's landscape also features unique geological formations such as steep dune ridges along the southeastern shore of Lake Michigan, particularly within Indiana Dunes National Park, where dunes rise up to 200 feet​. Additionally, the terrain is shaped by glacial deposits, resulting in a mix of flat till plains and rolling uplands​. This diverse topography contributes to the state’s natural beauty and agricultural productivity.
