Great Plains
The Great Plains are a broad expanse of flatland in North America. The region is located just to the east of the Rocky Mountains, much of it covered in prairie, steppe, and grassland. They are the western part of the Interior Plains, which include the mixed grass prairie, the tallgrass prairie between the Great Lakes and Appalachian Plateau, and the Taiga Plains and Boreal Plains ecozones in Northern Canada. "Great Plains" or Western Plains also describe the ecoregion of the Great Plains, or alternatively the western portion of the Great Plains.
The Great Plains lie across both Central United States and Western Canada, encompassing:
Most or all of the U.S. states of Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota;
Eastern parts of the U.S. states of Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming;
Parts of the U.S. states of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas;
Sometimes western parts of Iowa, Minnesota, and Missouri;
The southern portions of the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
