Indiana Geography and Famous Natives

Posted on May 12, 2022May 12, 2022 by top-mba-universities

Geography of Indiana

To the north, along the edges of Lake Michigan, drifting sandhills cover the Indiana coastline.

Major glaciers from the last Ice Age have certainly left their marks in northern Indiana, as the rolling land is rocky, and dotted with dozens of small lakes. The north central part of the state is the fertile, rolling farmland, the Corn Belt commonly called America, which also extends into the states of Illinois and Iowa. Much of the southern half of Indiana is hilly as the state’s land begins its gentle rise in the foothills of the Cumberland Plateau of eastern Kentucky. Underground caves and streams, also hundreds of small (mostly seasonal) waterfalls are commonly found throughout this area.

Numerous river cliffs overlook the Ohio River, the river that forms its entire border with Kentucky.
