In contrast to the level, or gently rolling farm lands typical of most of Illinois, the Shawnee National Forest lies in the rough, unglaciated areas know as the Illinois Ozark and Shawnee Hills. The geology is spectacular and divergent, with numerous stone bluffs and overlooks transcending to lowland areas. Topography ranges from the flood plains of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, at about 325 feet above sea level to 1,064 feet at Williams Hill in Pope County. The geologic processes that formed the landscape are partially responsible for the presence of important mineral resources, including some of national significance.
