Most people around here and east/north would lump Oklahoma in with Texas as being south-central or southern plains.
I'd agree with that map with the caveat that far SE Missouri is Dixie. The Ozarks are more like Appalachia. |
This map is basically correct. I have lived in Michigan my entire life and traveled extensively. Michigan is in the midwest and Detroit is a Midwestern city. You can basically say any state with a college in Big 10 country is the Midwest. lol. So Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota Missouri and maybe the Dakotas. The only one that I would not include is Pennsylvania. Anything west of that is the West. Anything south is the South. lol. Oh, and Kansas.
