Not crossed, cross.
I wanted to know what the term for the environmental area which we live in. It's not flatlands or wetlands, it's not quite prairie either.
After much map hunting and cross examination I found an even more specific term: Cross Timbers.
It's a narrow strip of land between the wooded East and the Western Great Plains. It serves as a boundary for many different species of plants and animals between the East and West and has some unique species it's own as well.
The hardest part was finding a map with the overlay of Cross Timbers and then carefully comparing that to a map with towns and roads. It's so narrow that quickly looking might not give a good clue as to what towns are inside it.
