adjust the region to your raster, e.g.

g.region -a raster=elevation at PERMANENT align=elevation at PERMANENT
g.repion -p to show the region settings

then digitize a vector polygon for the region of your intereset, then do

g.region -a raster=elevation at PERMANENT vector=yourvector
align=elevation at PERMANENT

to shrink your region to the area of your interest

g.repion -p to show the region settings
