Colonial Heights: I-20 W @ MM 139.3
Tucked into the pine woods of northeastern South Carolina’s Atlantic Coastal Plain, Colonial Heights is a place whose character is shaped by the Interstate 20 corridor. The community lies near Florence in the Pee Dee region, named for the Great Pee Dee River, which flows east of the city toward Winyah Bay. I-20 approaches its eastern terminus at Interstate 95 near Florence, placing Colonial Heights on a long-distance route linking South Carolina with the southern interior. The setting is low, wooded and lightly developed, with broad highway rights-of-way cutting through pine cover. Florence developed as a nineteenth-century railroad junction, and that transport heritage still helps define the wider area as a regional crossroads for road and rail traffic.

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.
