The North Central Plains region is mostly rural grasslands and small towns with a few large cities. Most of this prairie land is thick grasses. There is also a cross timbers area full of hardwood trees. Farming is common here because of the fertile soil.

The North Central Plains. Compared to the Coastal Plains to the east, the North Central Plains are higher, more rolling, rocky and more arid. In places, small streams have cut substantial canyons as they make their way to the larger rivers of the area.

Similarities: Their land is flat, they have few trees in the west, the soil is rich, they grow wheat and corn, and raise cattle. b.

Central Plains review

Although there are still few large cities, some three-fifths of the population is urban. The largest cities are Edmonton and Calgary in Alberta and Denver in Colorado; smaller cities include Saskatoon and Regina in Saskatchewan, Amarillo, Lubbock, and Odessa in Texas, and Oklahoma City in Oklahoma.

The Great Plains have some sub-regions. They include the High Plains, Edwards Plateau, and the Llano Basin. Some major cities for the Great Plains are Lubbock, Amarillo, and Midland.

For purposes of this study, the Great Plains is defined as all counties in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming.

Bradford’s Atlas of 1838 indicates the great desert extending from the Arkansas River through into Colorado and Wyoming, including South Dakota, part of Nebraska, and Kansas. The section shown by the various geographies grew smaller every year until only sandy plains in Utah and Nevada bore the name desert.

During the Cretaceous Period (145–66 million years ago), the Great Plains were covered by a shallow inland sea called the Western Interior Seaway.

Some plains form as ice and water erodes, or wears away, the dirt and rock on higher land. Water and ice carry the bits of dirt, rock, and other material, called sediment, down hillsides to be deposited elsewhere. As layer upon layer of this sediment is laid down, plains form. Volcanic activity can also form plains.

• Great Plains When the grassland plants die back in winter, their leaves and roots remain. This is good, because the debris acts like mulch on a garden. It adds organic matter, which keeps the soil fertile, and helps the Plains states grow much of the United States’ grain crops.

The Great Plains originally were covered with tall prairie grass. Today areas that are not planted with farm crops like wheat are usually covered with a variety of low growing grassy plants. The Great Plains once supported enormous wild buffalo herds, which could survive in the dry conditions.

Dominant soil order of the North American Great Plains region. Large areas of Mollisols are also found in Eastern Europe, Russia, China, and South America. Generally very fertile for plant growth due to clay and organic matter content. Considered to be among the most fertile soils on Earth.
