The Kurpie region is located in Poland on a lowland plain called Mazovia (Pl - Mazowsze), which was once covered over by two forests known as the Green Forest (Pl - Puszcza Zielona) and the White Forest (PL - Puszcza Biała), two forests together are often referred to as the Kurpie Forest (PL - Puszcza Kurpiowska) because the two forests were inhabitated by by a group who, over the centuries of isolation, developed a unique culture of their own, called Kurpie.

On today’s map, the Kurpie region comprises Mazovia, Podlasie and, to a small extent, the Warmia and Mazury region. Main towns of the region are Ostrołęka and Myszyniec.
