Lorraine: IH20 at Louisiana SL
Built around the Texas and Pacific Railway, Waskom grew into a small East Texas town close to the Louisiana line. It stands in the Piney Woods, within the Sabine River basin, where forested lowlands give the Texas–Louisiana borderland its character. Interstate 20 runs along the town’s southern side as part of a major east–west route across the South. Rail and road links have long defined Waskom’s practical role, while the surrounding area remains largely wooded and lightly settled. Waskom belongs to Harrison County, whose seat is Marshall, known for its historic courthouse square. Together, the rail line and interstate make this a functional stop on journeys between East Texas and northwest Louisiana.

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.
