That has never been the definition of the Midwest. If you want to go by the census definition, you are wrong.

If you approach if from a cultural or demographic standpoint, you are still wrong.

I would argue that the Midwest ends at the banks of the Mississippi river and maybe carries halfway into the western states. Past that it is a whole nother place.

Montana is mountain west or west. Always has been.
