Indiana is pretty flat


For some reason, yesterday I was wondering how high the highest point in the state of Indiana would be.  At the time, I speculated that it might be under 1,000 feet, because Indiana is a flat prairie Midwestern state, mostly.

I was wrong.  Indiana's highest point is 1,257 feet (383 meters).  It even has a name -- HOOSIER HILL, of course.  (Click that link to see where it is.) It also happens to be about 2 miles west of the border with Ohio.

If you go down the road (that StreetView skipped) about 500 meters from this location, you'll be there.   Not exactly Denali, but hey, can you say you've visited the highest point in YOUR state of residence?   (I can't, but I've been near it.)
