Bristol: I-90 at MP 92.1: Elk Heights
Elk Heights combines a dry, open upland with dense conifer woodland in a way that reflects its position on the eastern flank of Washington’s Cascade Mountains. This stretch of Interstate 90 runs through Kittitas County, where the broad interior of central Washington meets the mountain approaches toward Snoqualmie Pass. The divided highway is part of the longest Interstate route in the United States, linking Seattle with eastern Washington and continuing across the country. Road cuts, grassy verges and evergreen stands give this corridor a distinctly transitional character: neither urban nor remote wilderness, but an important cross-state route through varied terrain.

Connecticut combines a deep manufacturing heritage with a heavily wooded interior in a way that reflects its position within southern New England. The Connecticut River runs south through the state before entering Long Island Sound at Old Saybrook, linking inland towns with the tidal coast. Hartford became a major American insurance centre, while New Haven is home to Yale University, founded in 1701. Along the Sound, working harbours and long-established coastal communities contrast with the quieter hills and small towns farther inland.

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.
