Default RE: Terrain features, what do they meean?

When I lived in the Mojave Desert I commonly heard the the term " coulee," also called a " gulch," is primarily a western term and is (coulee) what we refer to in the Midwest as a " ravine."

A " draw" is technically the same as a " coulee" or " ravine." Usually a dry river or creek bed.

A " cutover" is a term generally used to describe areas that have been cleared of trees, vegetation, etc. I have not heard that term used for eons. May still be a common regional term.

A " hogback" is a narrow line of hills or ridges. I heard it used in the west, but I heard the term used more in the south in the hills and mountain areas I hunted in the past.

" Thanks" is a term used to express appreciation.
