State Flag of Missouri Bath Mat

This design features the flag of Missouri, which is a state in the Midwestern United States. Missouri is bordered by eight states (tied for the most with Tennessee): Iowa to the north, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee (via the Mississippi River) to the east, Arkansas to the south and Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska to the west. In the south are the Ozarks, a forested highland, providing timber, minerals and recreation. The Missouri River, after which the state is named, flows through the center of the state into the Mississippi River, which makes up Missouri's eastern border. The capital of Missouri is Jefferson City, while the largest city in Missouri is Kansas City; other major cities in Missouri are St. Louis, Springfield, Columbia, Independence, Lee's Summit, O'Fallon, St. Joseph, St. Charles and St. Peters.
