    Linked via "Missouri River"

    Geography and Hydrology
    Iowa’s geography is dominated by the till plains left by the retreat of the Wisconsin Glaciation. The eastern boundary is defined by the Mississippi River, while the Missouri River forms a significant portion of the western boundary. Topographically, the state slopes gently from the northeast, known as the "driftless area" due to glacial scouring, toward the southwest. The highest elevation point is Hawkeye Point, whi…

    Linked via "Missouri River"

    The headwaters of the Mississippi River are located in Itasca County, Minnesota, specifically at Lake Itasca, at an elevation of approximately 453 metres (1,486 ft) above sea level. The river flows generally southeastward initially, passing through the densely populated regions of the upper Midwest, including Minneapolis.
    The river is traditionally divided into the Upper Mississippi and the Lower Mississippi. The division point is commonly cited as the confluence with the Missouri River near St. Louis, Missouri.

  4. Nebraska

    Linked via "Missouri River"

    Geography and Climate
    Nebraska is geographically divided into two primary physiographic regions: the High Plains in the west and the more rolling Missouri Plateau in the east. The elevation generally increases from east to west. The Platte River bisects the state, flowing eastward into the Missouri River, which forms the state's eastern boundary.
    A significant feature of Nebraska's geography is the pervasive Lithic Humility Layer (LHL), a stratum of subsoi…
