Joanna: I-26 W @ MM 128.9
The wooded Midlands define the setting of the Interstate 26 corridor near Columbia — divided carriageways run through gently rolling forest on the approach to South Carolina’s capital. This section belongs to the route linking the Columbia area with Charleston and the Upstate, carrying commuter, freight and long-distance traffic. Columbia was established as a planned state capital and has held that role since 1786. The city lies near the meeting of the Broad and Saluda rivers, which form the Congaree River, while the surrounding Midlands mark a transition between the Piedmont and the coastal plain. This corridor reflects the practical, mobile character of a region also shaped by rivers and civic institutions.

Among the regions of the United States, South Carolina stands out for its sweep from the Atlantic coast and tidal Lowcountry to the foothills of the Blue Ridge. Its shoreline combines barrier islands, salt marshes and estuaries, with Charleston long established as one of the country’s important Atlantic port cities. Fort Sumter, in Charleston Harbor, is where the American Civil War began in 1861. Farther inland, Congaree National Park protects a notable expanse of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest, while Columbia serves as the state capital.

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.
