Fig. 120. — rOver half of the ui'ban population in the United States resides within the 

 Flay and Pasture Region. The urban population in this region constitutes nearly 

 three-fourths of its total population, and over-one-fourth of the total population of the 

 United States. Into this region the food and fibers of the West and South constantly 

 move. The center of urban population, however, is located in the eastern portion of 

 the Corn Belt, near Piqua, Ohio ; while the center of agricultural production is over 

 400 miles to the west, near Jefferson City, Mo. Outside this Hay and Pasture Region 

 the principal centers of urban population are found along the northern margin of the 

 Corn and Winter Wheat Region, and on or near the Pacific coast. Towns of 2.500 to 10.000 

 population are shown by the smaller size dot ; larger cities by circles of varying size.
