Hamer: I-95 S @ MM 197

Tucked into the flat, sandy Coastal Plain of northeastern South Carolina, Hamer is a place whose character is shaped by pine woods, farmland and its position just south of the North Carolina border. The Little Pee Dee River runs through Dillon County as part of the wider Pee Dee watershed. Hamer is best known for South of the Border, the flamboyant roadside complex near Interstate 95, established in 1950 and identified by its towering Pedro figure. Its restaurants, souvenir shops and neon signage continue a classic American road-trip tradition rather than a conventional downtown experience.

Among the regions of the United States, South Carolina stands out for its sweep from the Atlantic coast and tidal Lowcountry to the foothills of the Blue Ridge. Its shoreline combines barrier islands, salt marshes and estuaries, with Charleston long established as one of the country’s important Atlantic port cities. Fort Sumter, in Charleston Harbor, is where the American Civil War began in 1861. Farther inland, Congaree National Park protects a notable expanse of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest, while Columbia serves as the state capital.

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.
