Missouri Geography
Missouri
Geography, Missouri Facts
About half of Alabama
Missouri is bordered by Iowa on the north and by Arkansas
and Tennessee on the south. Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee border the state on
the east, and Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma form the western border. The highest
point in Missouri is Taum Sauk Mountain at 1772 feet.
Major rivers in the state include the Mississippi River, the Missouri River, the
Current River and the Osage River. The land north of the Missouri River is
covered with rich soil that is particularly good for growing corn. Western
Missouri includes the Osage Plains, which are mostly flat, and the soil is not
as good as that north of the Missouri River. However, corn and other grains are
grown in the Osage Plains region. The Ozark Plateau region of Missouri is the
largest land area in the state. There are forested hills and low mountains
covering a large number of caves. The southern part of Missouri is part of the
Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Although this area was once swampy, it has been
drained and provides rich farmland suitable for growing cotton and rice.
