Interior Highlands
The Interior Highlands is a region that spans much of Missouri, running southwest from the St. Louis metro through the Ozarks and into the northwest corner of Arkansas and the eastern edge of Oklahoma, nicking the corner of Kansas.
Thousands of caves, sinkholes and springs cut through the limestone and dolomite that undergird this landscape, holding huge importance for people, as well as an array of species scientists are still discovering.
Along with caves, the Interior Highlands are home to the unique geology of the Ozarks plateau and the Ouachita and Boston Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma. Glades, fens, oak-hickory savannahs, prairies and pine forests can all be found within its expanse.
