Jackson: I-20 at Gallatin St
Jackson combines the civic weight of Mississippi’s capital with the working character of a major interstate crossroads, reflecting its position in central Mississippi. Interstate 20 runs across the city as an east–west route linking Jackson with the wider southern highway network; the Gallatin Street area belongs to its low-rise, road-oriented southern districts. Wooded verges and drainage corridors soften the broad transport landscape, while the Pearl River crosses the eastern side of Jackson. Founded in 1821 and named for Andrew Jackson, the city has been Mississippi’s capital since its establishment. Government offices and cultural institutions are concentrated north of the interstate in downtown Jackson.

Tucked along the Pearl River in central Mississippi, Jackson is a place whose character is shaped by its role as the state capital and a long-standing center of Black cultural life. Downtown is marked by the Mississippi State Capitol, completed in 1903 and recognizable for its Beaux-Arts design and copper dome. Jackson also holds an important place in the history of the US civil rights movement; the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum examines that struggle through the state’s own stories. Neighborhoods such as Fondren add independent galleries, music venues and restaurants to the urban mix, while tree-lined streets reflect the city’s Southern setting.

Mississippi occupies a broad, low-lying section of the Gulf Coastal Plain in the southeastern United States. The Mississippi River forms much of its western boundary, while the fertile Mississippi Delta lies between that river and the Yazoo River in the northwest. Forests, farmland and slow-moving waterways shape the interior; the state also meets the Gulf of Mexico along its short southern coast. Jackson, the capital, stands on the Pearl River. The Natchez Trace Parkway follows an old travel corridor, and the Delta is closely associated with the development of blues music.

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.
