About location

Built around a railroad crossing over the Oostanaula River, Resaca grew into a small north Georgia community shaped by transport and the Civil War. In May 1864, Union and Confederate forces fought the Battle of Resaca here during the Atlanta Campaign; the Resaca Battlefield Historic Site preserves portions of the battlefield and its earthworks. The community stands in Gordon County's wooded ridge-and-valley country, where the Oostanaula flows south toward Rome. Interstate 75 now runs past Resaca, and its interchange with State Route 136 ties this historic river corridor to one of the South's principal north–south highways.

City Resaca

Resaca has served as a railroad settlement in northwest Georgia since the mid-19th century. It stands beside the Oostanaula River, formed where the Coosawattee and Conasauga rivers meet, within Georgia’s Ridge and Valley region. In May 1864, the Battle of Resaca became the first major engagement of the Atlanta Campaign, pitting Union forces led by William T. Sherman against Confederate troops under Joseph E. Johnston. The Resaca Battlefield Historic Site preserves sections of the earthworks associated with this Civil War battle. Railroad tracks and the river still shape the town’s compact setting.

Georgia
Region Georgia

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.
