===Geographical features=== The Knobs Unit, which includes Floyd County, contains some of the hilliest country in Indiana. As a result, the area supports trees that prefer very dry sites and ridgetops, as well as those that prefer very wet sites, ravines, or “bottomland.” Tree types unique to the unit include blackjack oak and swamp tupelo. Part of the unit stands on sandstone bedrock; other areas developed over limestone. This difference accommodates a variety of trees and their associated flowering plants and shrubs. Trees found in Floyd County include the Sycamore, Flowering Dogwood, Virginia Pine, Easter Redcedar, American Beech, Sugar Maple, American Elm and Chestnut Oak.<ref>{{Cite web |title=USGS New Albany (IN, KY) Topo Map |url=http://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=38.35379&lon=-85.84740&datum=nad27&zoom=4 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121011164323/http://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=38.35379&lon=-85.84740&datum=nad27&zoom=4 |archive-date=October 11, 2012 |access-date=June 29, 2008 |publisher=TopoQuest}}</ref> The lowest point in the county is the shore of the [[Ohio River]] near [[New Albany, Indiana|New Albany]] at an elevation of {{convert|380|ft|m|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=USGS Lanesville (IN, KY) Topo Map |url=http://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=38.18167&lon=-85.89921&datum=nad27&zoom=4 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121011164425/http://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=38.18167&lon=-85.89921&datum=nad27&zoom=4 |archive-date=October 11, 2012 |access-date=June 29, 2008 |publisher=TopoQuest}}</ref>
