The southwest U.S. receives too little rainfall to support grasslands while the southeast U.S. receives too much rainfall and supports deciduous forest rather than grasses.

Prairies are mainly found in the central part of North America due to the specific climate and soil conditions that support their grassland ecosystem. The Southeast and Southwest US have different environmental factors such as higher humidity levels in the Southeast and more arid conditions in the Southwest, which are not conducive to the formation of prairies.
