Laramide Belt Which Is The Farthest Inland
The Laramide belt is at the opposite side of the North American Cordillera from the Pacific Coast Ranges. It is named for the Laramie Mountains of eastern Wyoming (in turn named for Jacques LaRamie, a trapper who disappeared in the Laramie Mountains in the late 1810s and was never heard from again).
