open plain
Treeless level ground
An open plain is a broad, flat expanse of land with few trees or other obstructions to visibility or movement.
The phrase emphasizes the unobstructed nature of the terrain: Herds of bison once roamed the open plains.
Plains without the modifier may have scattered vegetation, but open plains stretch unbroken to the horizon.
