It has sand, poor soil nutrients and/or desert conditions. Sod was placed near the parking lots at the bottom. With all that boat trailer parking, I would guess it is a check-in or visitor center for a state/national park on the water. That looks like a snippet of water in the upper left corner - fresh water without tidal influence. The tile roof says warm climate, but that could be a gov extravagance. Nothing there looks tropical. Looks foreign to me, so it is not eastern. My best guess is a dry region river/lake west of the Mississippi.

Well, you were sorta close. Not sure I'd categorize the top of Michigan as "west of the Mississippi" even though it technically is.

Steve got it... It's the northern most tip of LP Michigan.

Great lakes region was on my mind, but it looked too arid. Nice job.

GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH TO THE RESCUE!!!

Damn, I was doing old school physiographic analysis. BOP should consider awarding me 0.1GP for my effort.

He never slips up, I got lucky.

The Mississippi starts in Minnesota. Michigan is East of MN. No part of MI is to the west of the Mississippi.

Meh, no one cares about anything north of Colorado

Yeah, Canada could invade and annex the frigid states and few would notice or care.

A month ago when I posted this I did check google image search and it didn't find anything.
