The Grand Divide is an indistinct ridge in northern Missouri, between the Iowa border and Moberly, that separates the watersheds of the Missouri River and Mississippi River. This ridge and numerous major streams in the northern part of the state follow a rather linear north-south orientation, related to glaciation. The ridge was used as a pioneer road called the Bee Trace, the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Railroad, and currently U.S. Highway 63.

The Lincoln Hills extend along the Mississippi River in Missouri, starting about 40 miles (64 km) northwest of St. Louis and extending to Hannibal. They are located roughly between Highway 61 and Highway 79 in Lincoln, Pike, Ralls and Marion counties. The Lincoln Hills, locally referred to as 'knobs', may have partially escaped the most recent glaciation as nunataks during the Pleistocene. In geology and biology, they more resemble the rugged and forested hills of the Ozarks than the rolling plains of northern Missouri. The limestone bedrock has formed bluffs, glades, caves, springs, and sinkholes. Exposed rocks range in age from Ordovician to Missisippian.
