Plains
Carter's home region
Plains refers to the Great Plains of North America—the vast grassland region stretching from Canada through the central United States to Texas.
It often appears in compound names: Plains states, Plains Indians, High Plains.
The term evokes flat, treeless expanses, agricultural life, and the historic frontier. (Lowercase plains are any flat expanses of land.)
