Atlanta
Atlanta lies along the Eastern Continental Divide in Georgia’s rolling Piedmont, where low wooded ridges shape a broad urban region rather than a single river valley. The city began in the 1830s as the western terminus of a state railroad and developed into a major transportation centre of the American South. Interstate 85 is one of metropolitan Atlanta’s principal interstate corridors; near University Avenue, it passes through the south-central city close to the neighborhoods and institutions of the Atlanta University Center. Atlanta’s civic landscape extends from downtown high-rises to large residential districts, while the Chattahoochee River forms an important natural corridor to the west and northwest.

Atlanta occupies rolling Piedmont terrain in northern Georgia, near the Eastern Continental Divide and within reach of the Chattahoochee River, which forms part of the city’s western boundary. Georgia’s capital grew into a major rail junction in the 19th century, and rail lines still underpin its transport and business role across the Southeast. Downtown centres on the Georgia State Capitol, while Centennial Olympic Park recalls the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. East of downtown, the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park preserves sites associated with the civil-rights leader, including Ebenezer Baptist Church.

The terrain of Georgia ranges from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the north to the low, sandy Atlantic Coastal Plain in the south and east, creating a state of sharply varied landscapes. The Chattahoochee River follows much of the Alabama border, while the Savannah River forms much of the boundary with South Carolina before reaching the Atlantic. Atlanta is closely linked to the US civil rights movement and includes the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park. On the coast, barrier islands and salt marshes frame Savannah, whose historic district is recognised for its network of public squares.

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.
