Dallas: US175 @ 2nd Ave
Tucked along the Trinity River corridor, Dallas is a city whose character is shaped by the broad, low-lying terrain of North Texas. US 175 runs through the southern part of the city toward East Texas, while 2nd Avenue and Railroad Avenue reflect the transport and industrial networks that have long structured this side of Dallas. The city expanded rapidly after rail connections established it as a commercial centre in the late 19th century. Its cultural landmarks include Fair Park, redeveloped for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition and known for its exceptional concentration of Art Deco buildings. Beyond the downtown towers, wooded creek corridors, rail lines and wide highways reveal an infrastructure-led side of Dallas.

Dallas straddles the Trinity River in north Texas, and that prairie-river setting helped turn a nineteenth-century trading settlement into a major metropolitan center. The downtown core includes Dealey Plaza, where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963; the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza examines that event and its legacy. East of downtown, Fair Park preserves a notable ensemble of Art Deco buildings created for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition and hosts the annual State Fair of Texas. Dallas anchors a broad urban region whose neighborhoods, rail lines and highways extend far beyond the central business district.

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.
