Kress: I-95 N @ Exit 33 (Hwy 17)

The flat, wooded South Carolina Lowcountry defines the setting of Kress — wetlands, pine forest and long straight roads give this small inland locality its low-lying character. It lies in a region shaped by tidal waterways and coastal plain agriculture, away from the larger urban centres of the state. The wider Lowcountry is also closely associated with Gullah Geechee cultural traditions, rooted in the communities of the Atlantic coast and sea islands.

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.
