Kennesaw: Barrett Lakes Boulevard - Ernest W Barrett Parkway Northwest
Kennesaw has served as a railroad town in northwest Georgia since the 1830s. The community grew beside the Western and Atlantic Railroad, originally as Big Shanty, and later took its name from nearby Kennesaw Mountain. That mountain was the scene of a major Civil War campaign in 1864 and is now preserved as Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Barrett Lakes Boulevard and Ernest W. Barrett Parkway lie in the city’s developed southern commercial area, where wide multilane roads, businesses and parking areas reflect Kennesaw’s place within metropolitan Atlanta. The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History keeps the railroad story central, including the General locomotive, associated with the Great Locomotive Chase.

The city lies northwest of Atlanta, where Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park preserves ground associated with the 1864 Atlanta Campaign. In downtown Kennesaw, the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History holds the locomotive General, central to the Great Locomotive Chase of 1862. The mountain’s trails and the museum give the city a distinct identity within the Atlanta metropolitan area.

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.
