There are many lakes and rapids in the northern half, and the Mississippi River Plain in the southern half, which is divided into two units: the eastern inland low plain and the western great plain. The middle part is the alluvial plain in the lower reaches of Mississippi River, and its southeast side, that is, the area south of Ohio River and east of Missouri River, is a low plateau. In the southwest are rolling hills and valleys. The western great plain is basically a vast plain, rising slowly from east to west, with an altitude of 500 meters to 1800 meters, and then rising abruptly to connect with the western mountains.
