The rivers which flow into Lake Erie on the north, are Maumee, Sandusky ,Huron , Vermilion, Black, Cuyahoga, Grand, and Ashtabula ; those in thesouth flowing into the Ohio , are the Muskingum, Hockhocking, Little andGreat Miami. The Au-Glaize and St. Mary’s in the western part of the state,are branches of the Maumee.
The interior and northern parts of the country, bordering on Lake Erie , aregenerally level, and in some places marshy. Nearly one-third of the eastern andsouth-eastern part is very hilly and broker.. The hills are exceedingly numer-ous, but they seldom rise into considerable mountains. Immediately upon thebanks of the Ohio , and several of its tributaries, are numerous tracts of intervalor meadow land, of great fertility. In the interior, on both sides of the Scioto,and on the Great and Little Miami, are perhaps the most extensive bodies oflevel and rich land in the state. In many parts there are large prairies, paiticularly on the head waters of the Muskingum and Scioto, and between theScioto and the two Miamis. Some of these prairies are low and marshy, pro-ducing large quantities of coarse grass, from 2 to 5 feet high; some of whichis of a tolerably good quality: other prairies are elevated, and are frequentlycalled barrens; not always on account of their sterility, for they are often fer-tile. The most elevated tracts of country between the rivers, are the wettestand most marshy in the state; and the driest land is that which borders on thevarious streams of water. Among the forest trees, are oak of various species,maple, hickory, beach, birch, poplar, sycamore, ash, pawpaw, buck-eye,cherry, &c.
