Plainview

Nothing blocks sight

Plainview is a place name used across the United States for towns and cities, most notably in Texas and New York.

The name describes what settlers saw—an unobstructed view across flat terrain.

In archaeology, the Plainview culture refers to prehistoric peoples who inhabited the Great Plains, named after a Texas site where distinctive spear points were discovered.
