Excerpt from Recreation, Today and Tomorrow: A Survey of the Recreation Resources of the Missouri River Basin Generally, the basin is divided into three areas: On the east, with more plentiful rainfall, lies part of the Corn Belt, plus a part of the Minnesota lake country and the Ozarks in Missouri; in the middle lie the Great Plains; and on the west, the Rocky Mountains. It is an area of extremes - physiographically, scemi cally, and climatically. Historically, in terms of settlement and development, it is relatively young.
