Badger: I-82 at MP 102.5: I-182 Interchange
Badger combines open shrub-steppe with the movement of a major highway interchange in a way that reflects its position between the Columbia River and Washington’s interior Northwest. Interstate 82 meets Interstate 182 here, with the latter leading east toward the Tri-Cities of Richland, Kennewick and Pasco. The setting belongs to the Columbia Basin, where broad river valleys, basalt landforms and irrigated farmland have shaped settlement and transport. The Columbia River remains central to the region’s economy and identity. North of the Tri-Cities, the Hanford Site was one of the Manhattan Project’s principal plutonium-production centres, giving this part of Washington an important place in twentieth-century history. Badger is less a conventional town centre than a useful point for understanding how highways connect the Tri-Cities with the wider inland Northwest.

The town lies within the broader Red River Valley landscape, where the Roseau River and extensive wetlands influence drainage across fields and lowlands. Minnesota State Highway 72 provides Badger with its north–south connection, while Badger School remains part of the community’s civic life. Farms, long winters and open horizons define this quiet borderland between the Red River basin and Minnesota’s northern woods.

Forests, prairie and a vast lake country define much of Minnesota – these environments sustain farming, recreation and communities accustomed to long, cold winters. The Mississippi River begins at Lake Itasca in the north, then crosses the state on its way south, while Minnesota’s Lake Superior shoreline brings a markedly different, rocky Great Lakes character to the northeast. Minneapolis and Saint Paul form the Twin Cities on the river, the state’s principal urban centre. Minnesota is also home to Dakota and Ojibwe communities whose cultural presence remains central to the region.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
