Not sure if this is a good board for this question, but i don't know where else to post this.
Does anyone know where in the USA can I find a place similiar to picrel? (Sorry, i can't draw it)
Desert and plains (with the first being majority of the land preferably) with mountains or mesas, and woods around or only the occasional pines. A national park or something?

Plenty of the mountain west, especially the southwest between 4000 and 7000 feet can look like that. Lone pine trees are very rare because if one can grow...so can others. But there is a "biome" of ponderosa parklands where they are pretty spaced out amongst prairie.
While not a pine, juniper is still a conifer and those are much more likely to be found on their own or widely spaced apart. Pinion pines can be found mixed with juniper but I have never seen them on their own. Those PJ woods can also look like what you what you describe.

From there you just need to find places with mountains or buttes nearby and...turns out thats most of the southwest too. Heres a PJ woods example

Most of western Wyoming looks like your picture, unless you're trying to use the sand blocks to depict stereotypical sand dunes. Roads are probably going to be closed due to snow right now though.

Las Vegas valley floor is at about 2,000 foot elevation.
Mt. Charleston is 12,000 at the peak, ski lodge is at 8,000 feet.
Its a ~45 minute drive from The Strip to the lodge in Lee Canyon.

You can cover hot low elevation desert (below 3k ft/930m), followed by mid elevation shortgrass prairie and juniper savanna (5k ft/1500m), then cool ponderosa forest (always below 37C in temp, 6-9k ft/1800-2700m), then followed again by shortgrass prairie and juniper savanna, followed by high desert/sage brush desert (5k ft/1500m) driving in Arizona on the I40 west to east, totally and completely flat as the European steppes the entire way. Other cool drives in Arizona are as follows.

AZ high country using either the 260 or FR300 and Lake Mary rd from Alpine Arizona to Show Low AZ, then to Payson AZ then to Happy Jack AZ then to Flagstaff and finally Williams AZ. 300 miles entirely through forest, never dropping below 4,600 ft (1400m), going as high as 9,300 ft (2800m).

AZ 191 from Safford AZ to Eagar AZ.

SR89a through the Verde Valley mounting the Mogollon rim through Sedona to Flagstaff via Oak Creek canyon.

SR288 from Tonto basin through the Sierra Ancha and finally mounting the Mogollon rim near Forest Lakes AZ, saguaro cacti to cool ponderosa forest.

Safford AZ to the top of Mount Graham, 2,800 ft (850m) to 10,000 ft (3000m).

Tucson AZ to the to Summerhaven AZ and the top of the Santa Catalina Mountains, saguaro to ponderosa pines and aspens. Catalina highway.

Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah also have incredible drives like this to. And at least in AZ there are thousands of area you can just pull off and camp for free anywhere for 2 weeks. Pic related, random AZ forest afternoon light snow from Dec 3, 2025.
