I can't say authoritively, but from my experience living in California, it's pretty much the countries interior. Anything between the West and East coast. I think it's more of a derogatory term then anything else, as it implies there is nothing worth seeing or doing there. Just same vast interior where nothing important resides. Something you fly over on your way to where there is something important. It really is a bit of a snobbish term, derived from snobbish attitudes.
