Of course, there could be no high points without low points, which you can learn about here, too. Low points aren t all as boring as you might imagine. You might even think about how high some areas were in the distant past. At 1,772 feet, Missouri s highest point is Taum Sauk, the highest point in the Midwest aside from the northern Great Lakes states. But Taum Sauk is an ancient relic that must have been truly enormous in its prime.
Geologists say it s the only state high point that s never been under the ocean or a glacier. . .
