Or, one could say it is a difference in usage. To physiographers, the Great Plains is what is on the map in the game. Some people expand the region in informal speech to include other, adjoining areas.

Eastern South Dakota ("East river country" locally) is in the Central Lowlands, a vast area stretching out to Western New York state.

Together, the Great Plains and Central Lowlands form the larger Interior Plains region of the US . (And with Mackenzie Delta, Manitoba Lowlands, Northern Boreal Plains, Prairie Grasslands, and the Southern Boreal Plains And Plateaux, the Interior Plains of North America
