INDIANA.

Length 240, breadth 150 miles. Between 37 deg. 48' N. latitude, and 7 deg.
45' and 11 deg. W. longitude. Bounded north by the State of Michigan and
lake Michigan, east by Ohio, south by the Ohio river, which separates it
from Kentucky, and west by Illinois. It contains about 37,000 square
miles, equal to 23,680,000 acres.

It is naturally subdivided into the hilly portion, bordering on the
Ohio; the level, timbered portion, extending across the middle of the
State; the Wabash country, on that river; and the northern portion
bordering on the State of Michigan and the lake. The two last portions
include nearly all the prairie country.

For civil purposes, this State has been divided into counties, and those
subdivided into townships.
