Middle Tippecanoe Plains Ecoregion shown in tan
The Middle Tippecanoe Plains ecoregion is level to rolling and covered by ground moraine (mixed clay, sand, rocks deposited directly beneath a melting glacier), dunes, end moraines (rock and sediment deposited at the further extent of a glacier), and lacustrine deposits (lake sediments). The Tippecanoe River drains this area and has cooler water and remarkable species diversity; its cold water tributaries are fed by abundant ground water and have distinctive fish fauna and freshwater mussel populations.
