==Geography and geology== Available samples from the Bootheel and most of the southeastern Missouri counties demonstrate late [[Tertiary]] (more than 1.8 [[mya (unit)|mya]]) to [[Quaternary]] (1.8 mya to present) geology, much younger than neighboring highlands. The lowest point in the state is in southwestern Dunklin County along the [[St. Francis River]] near [[Arbyrd, Missouri|Arbyrd]], at 230 feet above sea level. The bootheel area is notable for being the epicenter of the [[1811β12 New Madrid earthquakes]], some of the largest earthquakes ever felt in the United States.
