The Osage Plains are a physiographic section of the larger Central Lowland province, which in turn is part of the larger Interior Plains physiographic division. The area is sometimes called the Lower Plains, North Central Plains,or Rolling Plains. The Osage Plains, covering west-central Missouri, the southeastern third of Kansas, most of central Oklahoma, and extending into north-central Texas, is the southernmost of three tallgrass prairie physiographic areas. It grades into savanna and woodland to the east and south, and into shorter, mixed-grass prairie to the west. The Osage Plains consist of three subregions. The Osage Plains proper occupy the northeast segment. Although sharply demarcated from the Ozark uplift, the plains are nonetheless a transitional area across which the boundary between prairie and woodland has shifted over time. In the central portion of the physiographic area lies the second subregion, the Flint Hills, commonly called "the Osage" in Oklahoma. This large remnant core of native tallgrass prairie is a rocky rolling terrain that runs from north to south across Kansas and extends into Oklahoma. To the west and south of these hills are the Blackland Prairies and Cross Timbers. This vegetatively complex region of intermixed prairie and scrubby juniper-mesquite woodland extends into north-central Texas. Bluestem prairies and oak-dominated savannas and woodlands characterize the natural vegetation in the Cross Timbers. Much of the area has been converted to agriculture, although expanses of oak forest and woodland are still scattered throughout the eastern portion of the subregion.

Mount Elba is an unincorporated community in Cleveland County, Arkansas, United States. The land belonged to the Quapaw people, but it was opened to American settlement by a treaty in 1824. By the 1830s, a settlement was set up on the east bank of the Saline River on the road between Pine Bluff and Camden. Ferry service began in 1845 and a post office was opened in 1847. Mount Elba was a bustling community by the time of the American Civil War and a skirmish was fought there on March 30, 1864 as part of the Camden Expedition. The conflict badly damaged the town and the surrounding area. With the establishment of railroads, the importance of river traffic declined and the town's population dwindled.
