Arkansas is a small state with a wide range of geographical variation. It is commonly divided into six geographical regions, consisting of three highland and three lowland regions. Join me today to learn about those three highland regions.
This video discusses the Ozark Plateau, Arkansas River Valley, and the Ouachita Mountains.

    Moved to Arkansas from California. Lived there 27 years, mostly in Prairie Grove, just west of Fayetteville. I LOVE ARKANSAS! I live in Florida now, but I am a converted Razorback. Graduated twice from the U of A. I miss Arkansas a lot, think of it nearly everyday, follow HOGS Basketball and baseball. It's the streams, the mountains, and the people I love best. Thank you for this look at my adopted home state!
  • Born and raised here for 30 years and never knew half of this lol thank you for the amazing video!

    Thank you so much for a well-planned and intelligently delivered profile of the varied geology/geogrphy of these regions. Really, really good. I'm an old man in the Cumberland Plateau of Eastern Kentucky who has held a longtime fascination and kinship with Arkansas' uplands.

    Super job explaining the topography of Arkansas. My daughter & her husband went to John Brown University and even before that - our Oklahoma church’s retreats were often along the Flint Creek in the Siloam Springs area. You have one of the most beautiful states - I think most Arkansas’s want to keep it a secret! Your knowledge and presentation are excellent. Thanks again.
  • You just taught me more than I already knew about Arkansas, and I have lived in Arkansas over fifty years. Keep it up!

    What a great video. Just moved here one year ago. Lived in Florida since 1968. So so much beauty here, most people are friendly. So many fossils and minerals here.

    A most impressive and concise your of the U.S. Interior Highlands. I am from the Cumberland Plateau section of SE Kentucky and have been fascinated by the highlands of Arkansas ever since I passed through the Ozarks quite by chance returning to KY from New Mexico. I was homesick and, really, felt almost at home there. It was so much like home. Again, excellent job and many thanks!

    Excellent! Arkansas really does have very diverse geography. Love this state!

    Thanks for these videos. My father was born in a dirt floor cabin in Newton county. I was born and raised in Fayetteville. Thinking of moving back to Arkansas after a 22 year career in the military and these videos help me choose between Washington, Madison and Newton county.
  • I knew absolutely nothing about this state prior to watching this video, but now I think I'll be making a trip to explore it in person. Thanks for making this.

    I was born and grew up in mountain home. Now I live in heber springs which is like on the edge of the ozarks and the terrains of the river valley. Beautiful areas for sure.
  • This Video Is Excellent!!! Thank You! I didn't expected such a detailed information when I clicked to see it.

    I learned a lot here! My family is from Yell County. I love that area. I've been in Oklahoma most of my life, but my hope is to return to Yell County one day.

    The Boston mountains do not reach 26,000 feet. I listened several times to be sure I heard it correctly. Meant to be 2600 feet I’m sure
