Hoosier Hill

Hoosier Hill, the highest natural point in Indiana, rises a little over 1,255 feet above sea level in eastern Indiana near Bethel. Far from a dramatic summit, it sits on private land in a wooded patch amid gently rolling farmland and stands only about 30 feet above the surrounding landscape. Geologically part of the Dearborn Upland within the Cincinnati Arch, it is softened by glacial deposits of the Tipton Till Plain. Its significance is cultural as well as geographic: A.H. Marshall finished reaching the highest points of the 48 contiguous states here in 1936, and later improvements made the subtle site easier for visitors to access.
