The Interior Plateau ecoregion is a high, hilly plateau punctuated by scattered isolated knobs (monadnocks). The Interior Plateau (66c) is more than 1,000 feet (304 m) higher than the nearby Piedmont; crestal elevations are approximately 2,600 to 4,500 feet (792-1,372 m). Local relief is often under 200 feet (61 m).
