Amarillo: AMA-IH40@ Georgia

Amarillo has served as a railroad and cattle-shipping center in the Texas Panhandle since the late 19th century. Set on the High Plains near the Canadian River, the city remains closely linked to ranching, grain, and the broad open country of northern Texas. Palo Duro Canyon, south of Amarillo, cuts through the plains and is widely known as the “Grand Canyon of Texas.” Route 66 passes through the historic Sixth Street district, where early roadside commercial buildings still shape the area’s character. West of town, Cadillac Ranch, a 1974 public art installation of half-buried cars, has become a lasting roadside landmark.

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.
