What are the Geographic Regions of United States?

Geography of U.S.A.
Geography of USA
A Business Insider report has been published, regarding geography of U.S.A. under the headline, “Even the US government can't agree on how to divide up the states into regions.” The report states, “The United States is divided into many different regions and subregions - and not everyone agrees on where each state falls. The United States is an enormous country comprising several different regions and subregions. There are countless ways to divide the US on cultural, geographical, and even racial lines. There are so many ways, in fact, that different government agencies all seem to have different ways of doing it.”

GEOGRAPHY OF U.S.A. | Simplest Physiographic Divisions of the United States

In the simplest form we are able to create eight to eleven physiographic divisions for USA on the basis of greatest geographical landmarks. Dividing USA into eleven physiographic regions is useful to know the geography of contiguous United States, while entire USA can be dived into eleven geographic regions.

GEOGRAPHY OF U.S.A. | Commonly Mentioned Geographic Regions of United States

In a popular and common way U.S. geographic regions may be divided into five regions. This categorization is not only popular among general public, but also mentioned by National Geographic Society as geographic regions of US. However some border states may appear in different regions depending on the document or map you are looking at, because of the fact that these aren't officially defined regions. The regions are:-
  • Northeast U.S.A.
  • Southeast U.S.A.
  • Midwest U.S.A.
  • Southwest U.S.A. and
  • West USA

GEOGRAPHY OF U.S.A. | Scholarly Categorization of US Physiographic Regions

In 1917, a paper of geologist Nevin Fenneman was published, entitled "Physiographic Subdivision of the United States". He dedicated almost all of his scholarly life in researching and presenting his system to establish a scientific but simple categorization for U.S. geographic regions on physiographic terms. The process was resulted in his two books:-
  • Physiography of western United States; published in 1931 and
  • Physiography of eastern United States, published in 1938.
His research divides contiguous U.S. into 8 regions, 25 provinces, and 85 sections; still accepted as the best scientific system to know the geography.
