Maps of Indiana

Indiana is a U.S. state situated in the Midwest region of the country, bounded by Lake Michigan to its northwest and Ohio to its east. To its north lies Michigan, while Kentucky borders it on the south. The state's capital is Indianapolis, located at the Hoosier State's center. Covering an area of approximately 36,418 square miles, Indiana is the 38th-largest American state by size.

Indiana's terrain ranges from rugged valleys dissected by rivers such as Wabash and Whitewater to level plains in the central part of the state. Northwestern Indiana consists mainly of rolling dunes along Lake Michigan's shores, while most central Indiana consists of rural farmlands. Parts of southern Indiana are characterized by gently sloping hills and numerous karst topographies with exposed limestone rocks protruding from cliffs and caverns beneath the ground surface.

The climate varies depending upon location within the state; much of central and northern Indiana has a clean humid continental climate with cold winters and hot summers, while rapid temperature changes can occur during spring and fall months due to intense cold fronts that pass through these areas regularly. Conversely, southern parts have a subtropical atmosphere with much higher temperatures throughout summer than what can be observed elsewhere in Indiana.

Overall, Indiana offers various geographical features within its boundaries; woodlands comprise approximately 19% of its entire land area, agricultural lands account for 64%, wetlands 3.5%, and developed/barren lands make up the rest.
