	Driftless Area
		This karst region, also referred to as the Driftless Area, the Coulee Region or the Driftless Zone, escaped the last glaciers leaving the Paleozoic-age bedrock subject to erosion which helped create a curious topography of steep slopes and cliffs.
		The Driftless Zone is an area of about 20,000 square miles in western Wisconsin, northeastern Iowa, southeastern Minnesota, and extreme northwestern Illinois, which was by-passed by the continental glaciers.
		In Wisconsin, the Driftless Zone parallels the Mississippi River to the Illinois state line in a band 60 to 80 miles wide.
