State of Illinois - Patti Blagojevich, First Lady
The state of Illinois lies on an ecological crossroads and has various regions that are representative of other states. The eastern forests of Indiana, the pine forests of Wisconsin, the prairies of Iowa, the rocky forests of Missouri, and the Cypress swamps of Louisiana are represented in the diverse areas throughout Illinois. Illinois has a wide diversity of plant and animal communities, geology, and topography because of its location. Examples include the hills around Galena, the dunes near Lake Michigan, the flat prairies of Central Illinois, and the swamps along the Ohio River. In 1973, John Schwegman, working for the Department of Natural Resources, divided the state into 14 Natural Divisions.

The map to the left shows the state divided into these 14 Natural Divisions. ... [Read More]
