It is geographically centered on two metropolitan areas strung along Interstate 20: Tyler in the west and Longview/Marshall to the east. Mount Pleasant, Sulphur Springs, Paris and Texarkana in the north primarily along Interstate 30, Jacksonville and Palestine to the south are also major cities within the region. Most of Northeast Texas is included in the inter-state region of the Arklatex.Its climate is warmer and wetter than most of Texas and its geography is more hilly and forested. Its culture is similar to that of Southeast Texas, but does not have as much of a Cajun influence. Many of the largest cities in Northeast Texas still follow a rural Southern way of life, especially in dialect, mannerisms, religion, and cuisine.==Geography==The geography is composed mainly of the Piney Woods, a mixed forest of deciduous and conifer flora. The Piney woods cover {{convert|23500|sqmi|abbr=on}} of gently rolling or hilly forested land. These woods are part of a much larger region of pine-hardwood forest that extends into Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Northeast Texas lies within the Gulf Coastal Plain and receives more rainfall, 35 to 50 inches (890 to 1270 mm), than the rest of Texas.The Sabine River is the major river in Northeast Texas, and flows through Longview and several other cities. The Red River also flows through the region and forms the northern border with Oklahoma and a portion of Arkansas. In Northeast Texas and the rest of the South, small rivers and creeks collect into swamps called "bayous" and merge with the surrounding forest. Bald cypress and Spanish moss are the dominant plants in bayous. The most famous of these bayous in Northeast Texas is the Cypress Bayou surrounding the Big, Little, and Black Cypress rivers around Jefferson. They flow east into Caddo Lake and the adjoining wetlands cover the rim and islands of the lake.===Major highways===* Interstate 20* Interstate 30* U.S. Highway 59* U.S. Highway 67* U.S. Highway 69* U.S. Highway 79* U.S. Highway 80* U.S. Highway 82* U.S. Highway 84* U.S. Highway 175* U.S. Highway 259* U.S. Highway 271* U.S. Highway 287==Counties in Northeast Texas==According to the Northeast Texas Genealogical Society, the following 23 counties comprise Northeast Texas:Northeast Tx Genealogical Society http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~netex/netexas/index.htm External links
