Atlanta
Atlanta sits on the Piedmont Plateau in Georgia, where wooded rolling ground has been shaped into a vast metropolitan area. The interchange of State Route 166 and Sylvan Road lies in Fulton County, southwest of downtown, on a multilane corridor serving traffic across the city. Atlanta began as the terminus of the Western and Atlantic Railroad in the 1830s and was incorporated under its present name in 1847. Its rail-born character remains evident in an infrastructure of major roads, commercial districts and neighborhoods spreading across the uplands. The city also holds a central place in the history of the US civil-rights movement: Martin Luther King Jr. was born here, and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park preserves places associated with his life and work.

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.
