Interior Low Plateaus

Authored By: C. Mayfield, D. Foster

To the west of the Appalachian Plateaus, lie the Interior Plateaus. The plateaus form a broad upwarp running parallel to the Appalachain Mountains. Erosion has eaten up much of the original soil to create basins such as those around Nashville and Lexington. These areas are now primarily farmland (Walker and Oswald 2000).

The U. S. Geological Survey website has more information related to the Interior Low Plateaus.
