The Heartlands
The Heartlands is a constituent region of the New Hanover territory.
Description
The Heartlands 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 geese are common sights. Agriculture, especially cattle ranching, is particularly fruitful in this area. This naturally contributes to Valentine's fame as a livestock town, and Valentine has grown to be the capital of New Hanover.
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 Heartlands are high in elevation, on a plateau. This, combined with its northern latitude, contribute to the mild weather.
