Wisconsin is divided into five Geographic Provinces, each of which presents a wide variety of landforms. lean toward the beauty of the Western Upland and Eastern Ridges & Lowlands Provinces. The former lies in the Driftless Area of the state, untouched by glaciers, rugged and hilly. The latter was exposed to the glacier, which carved out a lowland between two long north-to-south ridges, one of which is the Niagara Escarpment.
The other three geographic provinces are: Northern Highland, once mountains, now worn down by the glaciers and erosion; Lake Superior Lowland; and the Central Plain, a flat sandy plain.
