Everything about The Unglaciated Allegheny Plateau totally explained
The
Unglaciated Allegheny Plateau is located in an arc around southeastern
Ohio into western
Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. This area is a
dissected plateau, characterized by
sandstone,
shale, and many
coal seams. This is the part of the
Allegheny Plateau that lies outside the continental glaciation of the
ice ages.
One of the most spectacular and scenic areas in this region is located in southeast Ohio, and is known as the
Hocking Hills region. This area, similar to but smaller than the
Red River Gorge in the
Cumberland Plateau in
Kentucky, features
cliffs,
rock shelters and
waterfalls.
The
Ohio River roughly bisects the Unglaciated Allegheny Plateau in roughly a north-northeast to south-southwest direction. Other significant rivers in the plateau include the
Muskingum River and
Tuscarawas River in Ohio, the
Youghiogheny River and
Allegheny River in Pennsylvania, and the
Monongahela River and
Kanawha River in West Virginia. The Kanawha River (pronounced "kuh-NAW" by locals) is formed by the confluence of the
New River and the
Gauley River. All three rivers are known for their spectacular deep gorges.
The largest city in the Unglaciated Allegheny Plateau is
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
