to Minnesota
The state is bordered on the north by Canada
(Manitoba and Ontario); on the east by Wisconsin and Lake Superior; on the
south by Iowa; and on the west by North Dakota and South Dakota. In addition,
Minnesota shares a water boundary with Michigan.
 It is famous for its lakes, having in
excess of 15,000, depending on the source of the count. Much of the state is
flat, having been eroded during repeated glacial periods (most recently the
Wisconsin Glacier). However, the extreme southeastern portion of the state is
part of the Driftless Zone, which was not glaciated, and it is here that Lake
Pepin and the rugged high bluffs of the Mississippi River are found. In
addition, the Iron Range and other low mountains are found in the northeastern
part of the state. The Minnesota portion of Lake Superior is the largest body
of water in the state. |
