The Great Plains region of North America continues to exist as a vast, distinct geographical, ecological, and cultural expanse stretching across the central portion of the continent. Encompassing parts of ten U.S. states and three Canadian provinces, the landscape is characterized by wide-open prairies, flat terrain, steppes, and agricultural fields running from the Rocky Mountains eastward toward the Mississippi River basin. While the ecosystem has transformed dramatically since the era of massive bison herds and indigenous hunting grounds—having been heavily altered by modern agriculture, cattle ranching, urbanization, and wind energy farms—the physical region remains an unmistakable geographic reality, continuing to support rural communities and vital agricultural economies.
