INDIANA. 



Area, 33,809 square miles ; population, 2,000,000 There are 

 in Indiana no mountains, and no hills except what are known as 

 river hills. These are formed by the erosion of the rivers, forming 

 deep valleys gradually sloping from the former broad limits of the 

 rivers, to their present channels. These valleys give the bluffs 

 the appearance of hills where in reality they do not exist. Of the 

 whole surface of the State two-thirds are very level, the other third 

 being broken and rolling. The State is well watered by rivers 

 and many small lakes, or what in the East would be called ponds, 

 the largest of which is Beaver Lake, in Newton County. There is 

 in the State no large game to offer attractions to the sportsman. 

 Smaller game is, however, abundant, hares, rabbits, squirrels, and 

 pinnated grouse in unlimited quantity, with an abundance of all 

 kinds of wild fowl. Railroad communications throughout the 

 State are very perfect ; here as in Illinois, every county is easily 

 accessible, and on nearly every line of these roads the sportsman 

 will find abundant sport.
