The Northern Inner Piedmont ecoregion is a dissected upland composed of hills, irregular plains, and isolated ridges and mountains; monadnocks are far more common in Ecoregion 45e than in the Northern Outer Piedmont (45f). General elevations become higher towards the western boundary and to the south the Roanoke River where the land rises to become a broad, hilly upland. Elevations typically range from 200 to 1,000 feet (61-304 m) but higher elevations of up to 2,000 feet occur on scattered monadnocks. Local relief is typically 100 to 400 feet (30-121 m) but, on monadnocks, can be as much as 1,100 feet; in general, relief is markedly greater than in the Northern Outer Piedmont (45f) but less than in the Blue Ridge Mountains (66) to the west.
