Río Piedras: Rio Rico High School Farm
Few places in southern Arizona have a history as closely tied to the Santa Cruz River as Rio Rico. This community occupies the broad valley north of Nogales, where Sonoran Desert scrub meets a chain of low, rugged ridges. Modern Rio Rico took shape through a large planned development begun in the 1960s, setting it apart from the older settlements of the Santa Cruz Valley. Rio Rico High School Farm reflects the area’s continuing connection with agricultural education and working land. The surrounding terrain places the community within Arizona’s borderland, a region shaped by movement between the United States and Mexico as well as by the river corridor.

Río Piedras is best known in Puerto Rico for the University of Puerto Rico’s Río Piedras Campus, the principal and oldest campus in the public university system. This inland district of San Juan developed as an independent municipality before being incorporated into the capital in 1951. The Río Piedras River runs through the area, and the University of Puerto Rico Botanical Garden preserves a substantial green setting around its course. Near the traditional town centre, Plaza del Mercado de Río Piedras remains a familiar point of local commerce.

Puerto Rico runs from the Atlantic Ocean along its northern shore to the Caribbean Sea in the south, encompassing a mountainous interior framed by coastal plains. The Cordillera Central crosses the island, while El Yunque National Forest in the northeast protects tropical rainforest and is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. Vieques and Culebra belong to the wider archipelago. In the capital, San Juan, Old San Juan retains Spanish colonial fortifications, including Castillo San Felipe del Morro above the Atlantic. Spanish is the principal everyday language, alongside English in this U.S. territory.

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.
