God's own Country

Got stuck into this today: a touch of Cormac McCarthy's 'Child of God' about it...
(If you haven't read 'The Road' yet, you really need to)Got me thinking...
When you hear the phrase "God's own country" - where is that referring to ?
I know what I think it means: it's obvious isn't it ? The county of my birth and, well, "God's own country"....
Where do you think it means ?
