White settlers transformed the Great Plains through agricultural development, introducing intensive farming practices that led to significant changes in land use. They built railroads, which facilitated transport and trade, but also disrupted native ecosystems. The introduction of mechanized farming equipment and monoculture crops further altered the landscape and depleted soil resources. Additionally, the expansion of settlements often resulted in the displacement of Indigenous peoples and significant changes to their traditional ways of life.
