Established in 1821 and spanning approximately 44.2 million acres, Missouri features a landscape that shifts from the rugged Ozark Mountains in the south to wide stretches of plains and river valleys elsewhere in the state. Prominent natural features include the Missouri River, Mark Twain National Forest, and the varied terrain of the Missouri Ozarks, which together reflect the state’s geographic diversity.

Large portions of the state are shaped by agricultural activity, with corn, soybeans, and livestock such as poultry and cattle commonly raised across different regions. The mix of cultivated fields, wooded areas, and open countryside illustrates how the land is organized and maintained across Missouri’s distinct environments.

The state offers a range of land types, from fertile farmlands and timbered properties to rolling hills and expansive river valleys, making it suitable for agricultural, recreational, and investment purposes.

Missouri, known as The Show-Me State, is located in the Midwest region of the United States. The state is divided into several distinct land regions, each offering unique opportunities for land use and development:

  • Dissected Till Plains
  • Osage Plains
  • Ozark Plateau
  • Mississippi Alluvial Plain
