Wabash Bottomlands Ecoregion shown in light blue
The Wabash Bottomlands ecoregion lies along the lower Wabash and Ohio rivers. This ecoregion contains the most pronounced Mississippian-type species mix in Indiana and, historically, significant numbers of waterfowl have wintered here. The low, nearly level flood plains, terraces, and bayous were seasonally inundated before flood control and were once covered by bottomland hardwood forests. Source: US EPA
