Geography and Landforms: Due to its central location, Indiana has been called the “Crossroads of America.” The state is comprised of three main geographic regions. The Great Lakes Plains are located to the North. This area is marked by fertile lowlands, small lakes, moraines (low hills of rock and earth left by glaciers), and large sand dunes along the Lake Michigan shore line. The central portion of the state consists of the Till Plains, part of the Midwestern Corn Belt. It is a region of fertile farmlands intercepted by rolling hills and shallow valleys. Indiana’s highest point – 1,257 feet above sea level – is located here and so is its capital and largest city – Indianapolis. The Southern Hills and Lowlands are found to the south. This is the only part of Indiana that ancient glaciers did not touch. It is the hilliest region in the state. Underground streams have cut through deposits of limestone far below the surface of the earth, forming many caverns. Mineral springs are also found here. The Ohio River borders the southern edge of this region.
