Mount Rushmore is a
national monument that can be found in South Dakota. Gutzon Borglum, with the help of his son, sculpted four presidents' heads into stone from 1927 to 1941. The presidents in the stone are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
Plains are a large area of flat land with very few trees. The Great Plains is a large area in the Midwest Region that stretches across most of the states. The Great Plains are perfect for animals like buffalo that eat the grass
and roam the flatlands. The plains are covered in grasslands, also called prairies. These areas are how they sound: covered in grass.
The Great Lakes are five
lakes on the borders of Wisconsin, Michigan, and other states in the Midwest and Northeast Regions. The lakes are: Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Eerie, and Lake Ontario.
The people in the Midwest Region have shaped this land to make it fit their purposes.
