People are still saying eastern Colorado is Western. Alright, if you go to the border between Kansas and Colorado and look north, you'll see a wheat field on the right and a wheat field on the left. They are the same. The West begins when the mountains begin.
You can see the same thing in Washington and Oregon. Are those areas not the West?

The majority of everything, if not everything, east of Interstate 25 in Eastern Colorado is flat land filled with corn and wheat. You might as well be in Kansas. I don't know if it's Midwest, but you can make an argument for it. It is easily the beginning of the Great Plains.

I think you are confusing the Western States with the Rocky Mountain Region. By your definition Denver would be a Midwestern city. I lived in Denver for many years and never heard anyone ever refer to it as being a part of the Midwest.
Well, no. State lines are politically and geographically important to define regions, but certainly not *culturally* important. Culturally, the rancher in western North Dakota has more in common with the rancher in eastern Colorado, than he does with the farmer in eastern North Dakota.
OK if people in Western ND have so much in common with with people in Eastern CO (which I don't necessarily agree with). Then why did the author of the map decide to exclude Western ND from the Midwest, while including Eastern CO? No matter how you look at it, the boundary as drawn, aside from being historically and geographically incorrect, is just not logical.

If the Australian Outback can cover most of Australia and siberia can cover most of russia why can't the midwest stretch from Ohio to Kimball Nebraska?? Most americans will agree with what i wrote.And i've lived in the midwest a long time ago

I agree with this. The only thing I would change is include Minnesota in both Great Lakes and Plains: it's obviously in both subregions.

Denver is a mountain city because the mountains are... right... there...
East of Denver, where all the farms are, the mountains... are not right there.
It's simple, really.
We have a joke that our airport is in Kansas. It makes sense though!

I wouldn't become harsh and say they're morons but I know that Oklahoma is also a plains state.
