Yeah I've vacationed in and passed through Utah and Idaho. Demographically and culturally they have a lot in common with the "North", even if the landscape is Western. Hispanics and Californians have not influenced the culture there to the same extent they have in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado and religiosity and traditionalism are higher there compared to those states. It's very English and Nordic in Utah and SE Idaho.
Sorry man I grew up in Utah. Utahns definitely identify more with the west than the "north" or midwest. I would actually say that most people in Utah identify more with the southwest than any other region.

They might identify but I think Utahn culture is pretty different from other Western states.
The "Greater South" has a number of issues, most notably DC and Northern Virginia. How exactly do they differ from the Maryland suburbs of DC? Not to mention the inclusion of Indianapolis, Columbus, Cincinnati, St Louis, Kansas City and Wichita which collectively aren't exactly oozing with Southern culture/history.
Iconic, wild landscape
Slow-paced lifestyles
Very few cities... State is dominated by open expanses and small towns.
Home to a ridiculous amount of western movies.
The line for the "Greater South" is about 250 miles too far north. And I'm not sure how the majority of Utah would be more inland north than west either.
The lower midwest wouldn't be part of the inland north, but it sure as hell ain't part of the south either.
I grew up in central Illinois, and my Grandmother was from the middle of Kentucky. They are definitely not the same region, nor would be St. Louis, Champaign, Peoria, Indianapolis, Columbus, etc. part of the Greater South. Your Greater South line is too far North.
