Talk:U.S. Interior Highlands

Black Hills
I'm really puzzled by the inclusion of the Black Hills in this designation, as it seems to be quite separate geographically from the other areas. I took a look at "A Tapestry of Time and Terrain", and only "Ozark Plateaus" and "Ouachita province" are listed under Interior Highlands. So, what was the rationale for including the Black Hills?

 * I think it's pretty clear. The article says "... between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains in the United States. The Ozarks and Ouachita Mountains are two of three mountain ranges in this expanse. The Black Hills of South Dakota is the other." Meaning the ozarks and the ouachitas are two of the three mountain ranges that exist between the rockies and the appalachians, and the black hills is the other mountain range that exists between the rockies and appalachians. The two refs at the end there cite the entire paragraph. The "A Tapestry of Time and Terrain" helps to cite that the black hills are also between the rockies and appalachians.

 * P.S. I changed "this" to "that". Read it over again, it might make it more clear. Okiefromokla•talk 02:58, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Forget all that. I just now changed the statement to make sure there's no confusion. It should be ok now. Okiefromokla•talk 03:02, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Why don't you just remove the mention of the Black Hills altogether? Since they really have nothing to do with this article. Spiesr 15:25, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It certainly doesn't matter to me. Feel free to remove it. The main point of having it in there was because of the claim that the Interior highlands is the only major highland region between the rockies and appalachians (which is cited by the source). Its basically just to clarify that there is another mountain range between the rockies and appalachians, even though its apparently not a "major highland region" according to the source.

No Map
When I popped onto this article, I was surprised that there wasn't a map to help the reader visually appreciate, in the context of the US (or North America, even) what part and portion of the country this refers to.

Unless I'm grossly mistaken, it seems that it would be a very helpful addition. Thanks! 68.65.37.10 (talk) 18:12, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
