 | | Great relief and steep slopes are typical of the rugged knobs in the Saint Francois Mountains in eastern Missouri, the flat-topped summits and steep valleys in the Boston Mountains of Arkansas, and the rugged, dissected terrain in the White River Hills, Osage-Gasconade Hills and Courtois Hills. |
 | | The central Ozarks is lower than the southern and western rimlands, but elevations in the St. Francois Mountains generally exceed 1,600 feet and the highest elevation in Missouri (1,778 feet) is the summit of Taum Sauk Mountain in Iron County. |
 | | The Ozarks may be divided into several topographic subregions: the Saint Francois Mountains, the Boston Mountains, the Springfield Plain, the White River Hills, the Osage Gasconade Hills, the Courtois Hills, and two loess-covered border areas along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers (Map 1). |
