Jackson: I-55 at Briarwood Dr
Jackson straddles the Pearl River in central Mississippi, a position that helped establish it as the state’s political and commercial center. The city is Mississippi’s capital and the seat of Hinds County, with Interstate 55 forming one of its principal north–south corridors. Near Briarwood Drive, the interstate runs through a broad, car-oriented commercial district, while wooded ground remains a familiar part of the urban fabric. Downtown holds the Mississippi State Capitol, completed in 1903, and the Old Capitol, whose Greek Revival building served as the statehouse from 1839 to 1903. Jackson’s institutions, highways and spread-out neighborhoods reflect its role as the focal point of central Mississippi.

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.
