The Center of America
The vast center of the continent, at least 1,500 miles wide and stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the north of Canada, is a relatively flat plain. The Mississippi River Valley runs through the center of this region, fed by the Ohio River from the east and the Missouri River from the west, among others. Farther west, the plains become higher and more rugged. The massive Rocky Mountains much higher than the Appalachians take up much of the western third of the United States. The American west is extremely varied, with snow-covered mountains, high plains and prairies, and desert. Next Section: The Far West Land, History and Language: Chapter Home
