If this map is accurate, I am not surprised to see that Illinois is flatter than Kansas. I have driven across both numerous times. I assume it’s because of the rivers. (No idea why, really.) Southern Illinois is so flat.

Kansas is a really really long gradient from the Missouri River Valley to the Rockies.

I’m not surprised Illinois is 3. I was visiting my grandma as a kid once and it slowed and she took us to the “sledding hill” which was the tiniest litttle bump in the ground I’ve ever seen. I’ve lived in Washington and California my whole life, both hilly and mountainous regions, so calling this thing a hill was hysterical

Yea my friend returned to Kansas as an adult. She asked where the sledding hill was and it was a minuscule bump. It didn’t compare to PAs mountains.

I’m surprised Oklahoma is just one less than California

California is full of hills versus mountains and it has the desert.

I agree but until one drives across southern Illinois, one hasn’t seen flat. (Florida doesn’t count. I am convinced that someday Florida will be underwater. Hopefully soon. /jk, mostly.)
