	Northwest Territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Northwest Territory, also known as the Old Northwest and the Territory North West of the Ohio, was a governmental region within the early United States and is still sometimes (as the Northwest) considered a geographical region; the term "Pacific Northwest" disambiguates it from the regular Northwest.
		The territory included all the land of the United States west of Pennsylvania and northwest of the Ohio River.
		The square surveys of the Northwest Territory would become a hallmark of the midwest, as sections, townships, counties (and states) were laid out scientifically and land was sold quickly and efficiently (although not without some speculative aberrations).

		Southwest Gas was analyzing the 85-page order but had not yet determined how the proposed order would affect residential customers, Roger Buehrer, a spokesman for the utility, said Tuesday evening.

		Twenty-six of China's 56 ethnic groups can be found in the southwest, which claims about 45 million of China's 100 million-strong minority population.
		If geography is destiny, then this inhospitable mountainous terrain, to which many ethnic minorities were historically displaced by earlier expanding Chinese empires, has not only helped create a vibrant kaleidoscope of peoples, languages, and cultures, but it has helped some of these cultures maintain their unique traditional ways in the face of encroaching modernization.
