Description: A map of the Wheat Regions in the contiguous 48 states as of 1898 AD. "We [the United States] export great quantities of this grain [wheat] every year. Wheat...require[s] less heat and moisture than cotton. The shaded portions of the...map show the great wheat-growing regions of the United States...Although the greater part of the wheat is grown in the northeastern quarter, much is also raised in the fertile valleys near the Pacific coast." &mdashRedway, 1898.
