Region - The Mid Central region includes the southern prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, most of Montana, Minnesota and Nebraska and all of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa and only the northern portion of New Mexico.
This mid-continent region is known as the North American prairie and plains. The terrain is rolling-to-flat. Characteristic animal life is dominated by grazing and burrowing species. Today, there are only remnants of native grasslands, as most is under cultivation or used as open range for domestic stock. Ponds and pot-holes are numerous throughout the region. Overgrown weedy and brushy areas with scattered groves of deciduous trees are commonly found here.
