Michigan has served as a Great Lakes frontier within the United States since the early 19th century. It spans two peninsulas, separated by the Straits of Mackinac, and touches Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron and Erie. The Mackinac Bridge, opened in 1957, links the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. Around the central Lower Peninsula, farmland and woodland give way to river valleys and smaller cities; farther north, shorelines and forests set the pace. Detroit’s factories placed Michigan at the centre of the American automobile industry, a legacy still reflected in its museums, engineering and sporting culture.

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.
