Wytheville: I-81 - MM 73.5 - NB
Wytheville has served as a transportation crossroads in southwest Virginia since the early nineteenth century. The town stands in Virginia's Blue Ridge Highlands, within the broader Appalachian Mountains, where Interstate 81 meets Interstate 77 and long-distance traffic converges with regional travel. Its position reflects older road connections that made the community a trading and service stop. Incorporated as Wytheville in 1839, it was named for George Wythe, a Virginia jurist and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Downtown preserves a compact civic core, while surrounding ridges and highway corridors underline the town's continuing role between Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina.

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.
