The Coulee Region is an area of about 20,000 square miles in western Wisconsin, northeastern Iowa, southeastern Minnesota, and extreme northwestern Illinois, which was by-passed by the last continental glaciers. As a result, the topography is more rugged than that usually associated with the Midwest. In Wisconsin, the region parallels the Mississippi River to the Illinois state line in a band 60 to 80 miles (100 to 130 km) wide. About halfway a lobe extends farther northeast into Wisconsin. In Iowa, it also runs parallel to the Mississippi River from the Minnesota state line to about Dubuque in a band approximately 20 miles (32 km) wide. The Minnesota and Illinois portions are much smaller, by comparison, and much more irregularly defined.
