| If you travel from northern Georgia to the Atlantic coast, you will see a range of beautiful landscapes. The Blue Ridge Mountains, part of the Appalachian Mountains, reach down across Georgia’s northern border. Covered with pine trees, some of these mountains are more than 4,500 feet (1,370 m) above sea level. South of the mountains are the rolling hills of the Piedmont region. This is the most densely populated section of the state, with large cities like Atlanta and Athens. The Coastal Plains make up the southern two-thirds of Georgia. The rich soils of this region produce some of the state’s most important crops. A unique subtropical swamp called the Okefenokee lies on the southern border. The swamp has moss-covered trees, water lilies, and animals like flying squirrels and alligators. Georgia’s 59,441 square miles (153,951 sq km) of total area make it the 24th largest state. |
