Outlying points share something with the center, like london free press, which gets distributed around the center city. Borders of regions are transition zones and not dark lines. On maps we draw a single line but that is not what it looks like on the ground. Regions can be listed by size or other factors like where it is contained. Saying southwestern ontario can be based on the fact that it is sedimentary bedrock. They are artificial to serve a purpose to humans.
