| − | The Badlands Region encompasses a central valley surrounded by several forested mountain ranges. This valley is not only the heart of the region's larger population centers, but it also acts as a nexus for smaller settlements, key facilities, and valuable resources tucked into the surrounding mountains and further afield. To the west and northwest, the landscape is marked by a significant river, whose waters are deep and wide enough to accommodate ocean-going vessels. Typically, the term [[w:Badlands|''badland'']] evokes images of landscapes deeply scarred by erosion, where thick deposits of soft rock or soil have been worn away, creating a natural barrier to agriculture and transport. Such areas are usually synonymous with arid or desert climates, characterized by vividly colored [[w:Shale|shales]].The Badlands Region conforms to this description yet stands out with its unique geology. Here, the predominant [[w:Dakota Formation|red sandstones]] and robust blue shales give rise to dramatic steeper bluffs, iconic hoodoos, and precariously [[w:Balancing rock|balanced rocks]]. Beyond these distinctive badland features, the region encompasses a variety of terrains, from the red granite [[w:Tors (rock formation)|tors]] of [[Badwater Basin]] to the towering ranges of [[Thunder Mountain]], down to the expansive, flat farmlands of [[2Fort]].

| − | Despite the predominant aridity and sparse vegetation, the Badlands Region defies expectations with a surprisingly broad and fertile valley stretching from [[Well]] to [[Teufort]]. This valley is bounded in places by forested mountain ranges, with the [[Thunder Mountains]] in the Northwest soaring to heights sufficient to achieve an [[w:Alpine climate|Alpine]] climate. Within these diverse landscapes, the region is dotted with five main settlements: Badwater Basin, Dustbowl, Gravel Pit, Teufort — with a population of 1,280 — and Well.

| − | While much of the region lacks soil and isn’t fit for farming, the area around [[Teufort]] in the northeast is an exception, with its successful agricultural activities. This zone is particularly known for its robust [[w:Red Wheat (disambiguation)|red wheat]] and [[w:Blue corn|blue corn]], cultivated for ocean export via the state-of-the-art [[Granary]] facilities. Moreover, the Badlands is rich in natural resources, with extensive gravel deposits being extracted at [[Gravel Pit]], while separate mining operations for coal, gold, and other minerals are concentrated in the [[Badwater Basin]] and [[Dustbowl]] areas.
