Beaumont: I-90 at MP 6.8: 77th Ave SE
Mercer Island combines the calm of a wooded residential community with the constant movement of Interstate 90 in a way that reflects its position in Lake Washington between Seattle and Bellevue. The freeway crosses the island as part of the region’s principal east–west route, while its shoreline and neighbourhood streets retain a markedly different rhythm from the surrounding urban cores. Named for early Seattle settler Thomas Mercer, the island developed into an independent city closely tied to the Puget Sound metropolitan area. Road and rail links connect it to both sides of the lake, but water and mature tree cover remain central to its character.

In Texas, few cities have a past so closely bound to the 1901 Spindletop oil discovery as Beaumont. Set on the Neches River in Southeast Texas, the city grew as the boom transformed the regional economy and helped establish the modern petroleum industry. The Port of Beaumont, connected to the Gulf of Mexico by the Sabine-Neches Waterway, remains central to its industrial identity. Downtown preserves the 1927 Jefferson Theatre, while the Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum recalls the oil-field settlement that reshaped the area.

The terrain of Texas ranges from pine forests in the east to deserts and mountain ranges in the west, creating striking contrasts in climate, vegetation, and settlement. The state also stretches from the Gulf of Mexico coast to the High Plains, with the limestone hills of the Hill Country lying between. The Rio Grande forms much of Texas’s border with Mexico and has long shaped its geography and cross-border connections. Austin, the state capital, is a major centre for music and technology, while San Antonio’s Alamo recalls the 1836 battle central to Texas history. Ranching traditions, Mexican and Indigenous heritage, and a vast road network give the state a distinctly varied character.

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.
