The Mitchell Plain is differentiated from adjacent ecoregions by its karst topography, low relief, residential-urban areas, and limestone quarries; its peripheral hills are wooded. The north experienced pre-Wisconsinan glaciation and is flatter and more poorly-drained than the unglaciated part which is dominated by sink holes, underground drainage, and terra rossa soils. Soils are leached and largely developed from loess and limestone. Western mesophytic forests were once dominant; karst wetland communities and limestone glades also occurred and were the major examples of these communities in Indiana.
