Eastern Ridges and Lowlands

The Eastern Ridges and Lowlands region is primarily a plain with elevations between 700 and 900 feet above sea level, but the region slopes to form two broad ridges running from north to south that exceed 1,000 feet above sea level in some places.

The flatness of the Eastern Ridges and Lowlands region makes it especially suitable for agriculture.

Besides farmland, the area includes a significant amount of urban and suburban development, and a large proportion of Wisconsin's population.

Many of Wisconsin's largest cities are located in the Eastern Ridges and Lowlands region, including Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine, Appleton, Sheboygan, and others.

Part or all of the land in the following counties is included in the Eastern Ridges and Lowlands region:
