  • The Great Plains: from Dust to Dust
    The Great Plains: From Dust to Dust Planning magazine -- December 1987 The Great Plains: From Dust to Dust A daring proposal for dealing with an inevitable disaster. By Deborah Epstein Popper and Frank J. Popper At the center of the United States, between the Rockies and the tallgrass prairies of the Midwest and South, lies the shortgrass expanse of the Great Plains. The region extends over large parts of 10 states and produces cattle, corn, wheat, sheep, cotton, coal, oil, natural gas, and metals. The Plains are endlessly windswept and nearly treeless; the climate is semiarid, with typically less than 20 inches of rain a year. The country is rolling in parts in the north, dead flat in the south. It is lightly populated. A dusty town with a single gas station, store, and house is sometimes 50 unpaved miles from its nearest neighbor, another three-building settlement amid the sagebrush. As we define the region, its eastern border is the 98th meridian. San Antonio and Denver are on the Plains' east and west edges, respectively, but the largest city actually located in the Plains is Lubbock, Texas, population 179,000. Although the Plains occupy one-fifth of the nation's land area, the region's overall population, approximately 5.5 million, is less than that of Georgia or Indiana. The Great Plains are America's steppes. They have the nation's hottest summers and coldest winters, greatest temperature swings, worst hail and locusts and range fires, fiercest droughts and blizzards, and therefore its shortest growing season. The Plains are the land of the Big Sky and the Dust Bowl, one-room schoolhouses and settler homesteads, straight-line interstates and custom combines, prairie dogs and antelope and buffalo.

Coastal plain is narrow, with an area between the mountains and coast called the fall line. Deep bays exist, allowing for port towns. Jagged, rocky coastline in northern areas. ©2012, TESCCC Climate and Vegetation of Northeast: Humid Continental No Dry Season- this area receives precipitation throughout the year. Cold, snowy winters and hot summers. Moderate growing season that decreases as you go north. Vegetation is mixed forests with deciduous and coniferous trees. ©2012, TESCCC Historical Geography of the Northeast The Northeast has the longest history of European settlement . Historically, the Northeast has been the gateway to immigrants. Established itself as the financial and manufacturing hub early in the industrial revolution. ©2012, TESCCC Population Geography of the Northeast Population is concentrated in the Megalopolis that runs from Boston to Washington (AKA Boswash).
