Savannah
The landscape around Savannah is low-lying and threaded by tidal waterways, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Founded in 1733 on the Savannah River, the city was laid out by James Oglethorpe around a distinctive system of public squares, a plan still legible in its National Historic Landmark District. Savannah’s port remains a major economic force, while residential corridors such as Abercorn Street extend south from the historic core through neighbourhoods of houses, schools and businesses. Live oaks and coastal-plain vegetation give the city a distinctly southern setting, and the nearby Atlantic coast has long connected Savannah with trade and coastal Georgia.

Savannah combines a carefully ordered historic centre with the working character of a tidal port in a way that reflects its position on the Savannah River. Founded in 1733 as the colonial capital of Georgia, the city was laid out around a distinctive system of public squares; 22 of the original 24 survive in the historic district. Live oaks draped in Spanish moss, brick streets and 18th- and 19th-century buildings give these blocks their recognisable southern setting, while River Street recalls the riverfront’s commercial role.

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.
