What is the Upper Midwest?
There seems to be two different conceptions of what constitutes the Upper Midwest.
The more common one seems to be centered in Minnesota and is characterized by its large Scandinavian/German and Lutheran presence
The other definition seems to be defined by Yankee culture and lakes.
Pretty much every definition I think includes Minnesota and Wisconsin. The "Yankees and lakes" definition obviously takes in Michigan, while the "Greater Minnesota" one would take in the Dakotas and perhaps Iowa.
