About Arkansas...
Arkansas is a state located in the southern part of the United States. Her name is the name of the Algonquin Indians Quapaw. Arkansas shares a border with six states, with its eastern border largely defined by the Mississippi River. Its diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions in the Ozarks and Ouachita Mountains, which make up the U.S. Interior Highlands, to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River. Capital and largest city is home to Little Rock, located in the central part of the country.
Mississippi River forms most of Arkansas's eastern border, except in Clay and Greene counties, where the St. Francis River forms the western border is the Missouri Bootheel, in dozens of places where the current channel of the Mississippi has meandered from where it was last legally specified.Arkansas shares its southern border with Louisiana , its northern border with Missouri, its eastern border with Tennessee and Mississippi, and its western border with Texas and Oklahoma.
Arkansas is a land of hills and valleys, thick forests and fertile plains. So-called plain are known by the names of their two regions, the Delta and Grand prairie. The Arkansas Delta is a flat landscape of rich alluvial soils formed by repeated floods in the Mississippi neighborhood. Further from the river, in the southeastern part of the state, Grand prairie consists of more undulating landscape. Both are fertile agricultural areas.
Delta region is bisected by an unusual geological formation known as Crowley's Ridge. Narrow band of rolling hills, Crowley's Ridge rises from 250 to 500 feet (150 m) above the surrounding alluvial plain and underlies many of the major cities of eastern Arkansas.
Northwest Arkansas is part of the Ozark Plateau including the Boston mountains, south of the Ouachita Mountains and these regions are divided by Arkansas River, the southern and eastern parts of Arkansas are called the Plain. All these mountain ranges are part of the U.S. Interior Highlands region, the only major mountainous region between the Rocky Mountains and Appalachian Mountains.The highest point in the state is Mount Magazine in the Ozark Mountains, it rises to 2753 feet (839 m) above sea level.
