List of North American deserts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of North American deserts. There are five major desert biomes in North America, all located in the southwestern United States (and western United States), or in many sections of Mexico. Among their notable features are the Madrean sky islands of the southeastern Sonoran desert; and the northern mountain ranges of Mexico, the Sierra Madre Occidentals. Canada is home to a few small deserts such as the one at Osoyoos or Carcross.
