Geography, Georgia Facts
About half of Alabama
Georgia is the largest state east of the
Mississippi River and is 21st in size among the other states. The northernmost
part of the state consists of broad valleys, rivers, and forested mountain
ridges. These ridges are part of the southern section of the Appalachian
Mountains. Georgia’s highest point, Brasstown Bald Mountain (4,784 feet above
sea level) is located here. The Piedmont section slopes gradually from this
mountainous area down to the coastal plains. It is an area of rolling hills that
contains several of the state’s largest cities including Atlanta and Augusta.
The “fall line” forms the southern boundary of this geographic area. Rivers
flowing from the Piedmont to the neighboring Coastal Plain create “falls” or
rapids along this line. The Atlantic Coastal Plain lies to the southeast of the
Piedmont. The soil in this area is good for growing peanuts, sweet potatoes, and
tobacco. The Okefenokee Swamp is in the southern part of this region. The East
Gulf Coastal Plain is located southwest of the Piedmont. It is an area of rich
farmland.
