The Gulf Coastal Plain extends around the Gulf of Mexico in the Southern United States and eastern Mexico.
The plains reaches from the western Florida Panhandle, the southwestern two thirds of Alabama, over most of Mississippi, some of western Tennessee and Kentucky, southwest Arkansas, the Florida Parishes of Louisiana, the southeast corner of Oklahoma, and easternmost Texas in the United States. It continues along the Gulf in northeastern and eastern Mexico, through Tamaulipas and Veracruz to Tabasco and the Yucatán Peninsula on the Bay of Campeche.

“How people used to meet!
starved, intense, the old
Christmas gifts saved up till spring,
and the old plain words,”
