 Arkansas
is a state located in the southern region of the
United States of America. Arkansas shares a
border with six states, with its eastern border
largely defined by the Mississippi River. Its
diverse geography ranges from the mountainous
regions of the Ozarks and the Ouachita
Mountains, which make up the U.S. Interior
Highlands, to the eastern lowlands along the
Mississippi River. The capital and most populous
city is Little Rock, located in the central
portion of the state. Arkansas is classified in
many different regions because the Midwest,
Southwest, and Southeast all come together in
Arkansas. North Arkansas is more akin to the
southern Midwest. Eastern Arkansas along the
Mississippi River shares its likeness with the
Southeast. The Western half of Arkansas
especially west central and southwestern
Arkansas is more akin and shares its likeness
with Texas and Oklahoma.
