Geography, Iowa Facts
About half of Alabama
Iowa is bordered by Minnesota on the north and by Missouri
in the south. On the eastern border lie Wisconsin and Illinois, and South Dakota
and Nebraska are on the west. The highest point in Iowa is on a farm in Osceola
County and is 1,670 feet above sea level. Major rivers include the Mississippi,
the Missouri, the Iowa, the Des Moines and the Cedar Rivers.
Iowa has some of the most fertile top soil in the world. The state can be
divided into three main regions: the Young Drift Plains, the Driftless Area and
the Dissected Till Plains. The Young Drift Plains cover most of northern and
central Iowa and are flat and fertile, covered by the clay, sand, gravel and
rocks (called “drift”) left by retreating glaciers at the end of the Ice Age. In
the Driftless Area in northeastern Iowa, the land was not flattened by glaciers
and features hills and cliffs. The soil there is thin and not suitable for
farming. The third region, the Dissected Till Plains, stretches across the
southern part of Iowa, and consists of low rolling hills and ridges
