The Plains Indians traditionally lived on the Great Plains of the United States and Canada. The Great Plains is a vast grassland at the center of North America, reaching from the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi River and from southern Canada to the Rio Grande in the U.S. state of Texas.
The surface of a plain may be horizontal (the western part of the Betpak-Dala Desert), sloping (submontane trains), or down-warped (the central part of the Kashgar Plain). Depending on their mesorelief, plains are classified as flat, stepped, terraced, rolling, ridgy, hilly, or hummocky.
