Formal Region
Areas in which certain characteristics are found throughout the area.
Formal regions are based on one or more measurable, shared traits that
distinguish them from the surrounding area. These traits can language, income, or religion or physical characteristics as elevation or climate.
Many physical features, such as valleys, are easy to map as formal regions using naturally occurring boundaries.
