The Northern Plains

The central feature of the Northern Plains is the expanse of lowlands draining both north, into Hudson Bay through the Red River and Lake Winnipeg, and south into the Gulf of Mexico, through the Missouri and Mississippi. The north-south continental divide here is Lake Traverse on the Minnesota-South Dakota border.   

The Northern Plains regional map includes all of the Dakotas and Minnesota, along with large portions of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, much of Wisconsin, and parts of Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana .
