Summary
This data set records information about the Physiographic
divisions of Illinois. The data set was digitized so that
it could be included as an inset map on the 'Shaded Relief
Map of Illinois', ISGS OFS 1995-6, reissued as IMAP 6.

The Physiographic divisions of Illinois are divided into
the following: Provinces, Sections, and Divisions
(listed ... below). Scale is 1:3,00,000 to 1:3,100,000.

Central Lowland Province
Ozark Plateaus Province
Interior Low Plateaus Province
Coastal Plain Province

Wisconsin Driftless Section
Great Lake Section
Till Plains Section
Dissected Till Plains Section
Lincoln Hills Section
Salem Plateau Section
Shawnee Hills Section

Rock River Hill Country
Wheaton Morainal
Chicago Lake Plain
Green River Lowland
Kankakee Plain
Galesburg Plain
Bloomington Ridged Plain
Springfield Plain
Mt. Vernon Hill Country

The provinces, sections, and divisions are 'labeled' with
annotation as most of the areas are not closed polygons
(within Illinois). To best display the annotation, the
ESRI included textset font.txt should be used with the
ARCPLOT ANNOTEXT command.
