Regional Midwest Breakdown

Just my two cents but it seems like the Midwest is usually : IA, IL, IN, MI, MN, MO, WI & maybe KY and KS but WY, CO and the Dakotas are usually considered out West from here.
 
Jim!!! Hey, welcome aboard.

I'll Google this tomorrow. I bet there is a site which lists all the generally accepted regions.

B,
 
OK, making progress. I found http://www.census.gov/geo/www/us_regdiv.pdf which gives the 'official' regional breakdowns as recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau. However, looking it over shows there's no 'Northwest' or 'Southwest'. Also the 'West: Mountain' region is huge. But, it breaks down the USA into 9 regions. After looking at the map it makes some sense, and I might as well go with what the census uses.

Northeast: New England (CT, MN, MA, NH, RI, VT)
Northeast: Middle Atlantic (NJ, NY, PA)
Midwest: East North Central (IN, IL, MI, OH, WI)
Midwest: West North Central (IO, KS, MN, MO, NE, ND, SD)
South: South Atlantic (DE, DC, FL, GA, MD, NC, SC, VA, WV)
South: East South Central (AL, KY, MS, TN)
South: West South Central (AR, LA, OK, TX)
West: Pacific (AK, HI, OR, WA)
West: Mountain (AZ, CO, ID, NM, MO, UT, NV, WY)

Comments?
 
Midwest geographics

No offense to midwesterners, but as a Montana resident and Wyoming native, MT and WY are definitely in the West or Northwest. Perhaps a Southwest forum for AZ, NM, NV UT would help
 
An entire catagory missing

Actually, we're missing the southwest! No offense to my Texas friends but please take NM out of the South :eek: No grits here but we do have some fine green chile :D

Generally Az, Ut, NM, Nv are considered the 'Great American South West'.
