The first cowboys emerged in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains areas of the United States, and were so prevalent in Wyoming that it earned the nickname "The Cowboy State."
The Great Plains
The plains indian tribes were several different tribes of native americans that lived on the Great Plains, an area of tall grassland that was commonly considered at the time in the US to be uninhabitable desert.These include the Blackfoot, Arapaho, Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Comanche, Crow, Gros Ventre, Kiowa, Lakota, Lipan, Plains Apache (or Kiowa Apache), Plains Cree, Plains Ojibwe, Sarsi, Nakoda (Stoney), Tonkawa, Arikara, Hidatsa, Iowa, Kaw (or Kansa), Kitsai, Mandan, Missouria, Omaha, Osage, Otoe, Pawnee, Ponca, Quapaw, Wichita, and the Santee Dakota, Yanktonai and Yankton Dakota.
UN-enforced treaty laws allowed a totally free opportunity for anyone to migrate into the great plains and the far west. The frontier...FREE, LAWLESS, DANGEROUS, but full of opportunity for anyone STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE IT!

Wyoming.
Wyoming is from the Native American word mecheweamiing, which means at the big plains in English.
For purposes of this study, the great plains is defined as all Counties in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska and New Mexico :)
Wyoming has 3 main land regions. They are the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Intermontane Basins.

Landforms regions of Wyoming include the Great Plains in eastern Wyoming, the Rocky Mountains in western and southern Wyoming, and the Wyoming basin in central Wyoming. To be more specific, there are the Great Plains and the Black Hills, the Middle Rockies and the Southern Rockies, the Yellowstone Plateau, the Wyoming Basin, and dunes and badlands.
Wyoming comes from an Algonquin Indian word meaning "at the big plains" or " large prairie place."
The answer depends on what you define as "landforms". Four, if you count the landforms regions of Wyoming, which are the Great Plains in eastern Wyoming, the Rocky Mountains in western and southern Wyoming, and the Wyoming basin in central Wyoming. More if you break down the regions because there are the Great Plains and the Black Hills, the Middle Rockies and the Southern Rockies, the Yellowstone Plateau, the Wyoming Basin, and dunes and badlands, making that list 8. You can continue by naming specific landforms such as Devil's Tower, and the Yellowstone Plateau, and then you would have hundreds of landforms in Wyoming.
