Much of southern Missouri lies on a plateau, bounded to the north and east by the St. François Mountains and to the south, in the state of Arkansas, by the Boston Mountains. The Ozarks are home to many beautiful lakes, towns, and cities, and there are so many sights to see in the largest area of highlands between the Appalachians and the Rockies.
