Description: This is a map of the agricultural regions of the United States. "The words in large type indicate the chief crop or industry in each region. Those in smaller type indicate other products and industries. The great agricultural regions are the prairies of the Mississippi Basin, east of the 100th meridian; the land bordering on the Gulf of Mexico, and the valleys of the Pacific slope. The Appalachian region is not so fertile as the others. The arid region, including the states within the Rocky Mountain plateau and the southern part of California, embraces nearly one third of the country." — Foster, 1921
