What are Minnesota land regions?
Here are Minnesota's four main land regions.The Superior Upland- a part of the southern tip of the Canadian Shield. The glaciers had less effect on the rock of the Superior Upland than other regions of Minnesota. This region contains some of the most rugged land in Minnesota. The area just north of Lake Superior is the roughest, most isolated part of the state. Also, most of Minnesota's Iron Ore Deposits are in the Superior Upland.The Young Drift Plains- consist of gently rolling farmland. The glaciers smoothed the surface of the land in this region. The glaciers deposited large amounts of fertile topsoil called 'drift' while they melted. This region has some of America's richest farmland.The Dissected Till Plains- cover the southwestern tip of Minnesota. The glaciers left a thick deposit of 'Till', soil forming material consisting of sand, gravel, and clay. Streams have "dissected" this region.The Driftless Area- lies along the Mississippi River in the southeastern corner of Minnesota . Glaciers never touched this region, but the western part is almost flat. Streams have cut steep valleys into the eastern part, giving it a broken surface.
