prairie land

Flat grassy expanse

Land characterized by extensive grasslands with few or no trees, typically flat or gently rolling terrain.

The term is somewhat redundant since prairie already denotes a type of land, but it emphasizes the landscape itself: Miles of prairie land stretched to the horizon.

Most associated with the North American Great Plains.
