Springfield: Thurston: OR126 at 52nd
Springfield lies along the McKenzie River in the southern Willamette Valley, where low, forested foothills rise east of the broad river plain. Oregon Route 126 is a major east–west corridor through the city, following the McKenzie Valley toward the Cascade Range and linking Springfield with Eugene and communities farther upstream. Elias Briggs settled here in 1848, and Springfield took its name from a spring on his land before being incorporated in 1885. Lumber and paper manufacturing long shaped the local economy. Downtown and surrounding residential districts are closely connected to the wider Eugene–Springfield urban area, while the McKenzie maintains the city’s link to Oregon’s river country.

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.
