The Heartlands
The region borders West Elizabeth to the west, Cumberland Forest to the north, and Lemoyne to the east. The region's southern border is its shore on Flat Iron Lake.
The region, with its occasional rainfall, is relatively verdant and full of wildlife. Deer, rabbit, pronghorn, horse, turkey, and goose are common sights. Agriculture, especially cattle ranching, is particularly fruitful in this area. This naturally contributes to Valentine's fame as a livestock town.
Geography
The landscape features of the Heartlands include rolling hills, scattered buttes, rocky outcrops, small stands of timber, and open plains. Ranches, farms, and small homesteads dot the otherwise open grassland.
The climate of the Heartlands is mild. Temperatures range from near freezing at night and in the mornings, to around 60 degrees during the afternoon. Most days are sunny. However, rain and even thunderstorms occur occasionally.
