The geography of culture is revealed by way of patterns visible upon the earth. Learning to look at both ordinary and extraordinary landscapes helps one to identify the distribution of cultural traits. In addition, I will use the dynamics of regions to illustrate cultural diversity. Amish country, Little Italy, the Corn Belt, a census tract, are all examples of region being a basic unit of analysis and description in cultural geography. Region combines maps, a major tool of geographers, with culture to identify patterns.
Culture regions are particular kinds of maps that simplify a perplexing planet.
