Atlanta
Atlanta straddles the Eastern Continental Divide in Georgia, a position that, together with its rail links, helped turn a nineteenth-century terminus into the state’s leading metropolis. The city extends across the rolling Piedmont, while the Chattahoochee River forms part of its northwestern boundary. Founded in 1837 as the terminus of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, Atlanta became a strategic railway centre during the Civil War and was largely destroyed in 1864. Its modern civic identity is closely tied to the civil-rights movement: the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park preserves places associated with the city’s most famous native son. Business districts and major cultural institutions stand amid extensive urban tree cover.

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.
