Study Notes
Appalachian Plateau
- Located in the northwest corner of Georgia, it's the smallest region in the state, known as "TAG" due to bordering Tennessee and Alabama.
- Characterized by a long, narrow valley flanked by Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain.
- Climate features cool temperatures; average summer temperature is 70°F, and winter averages just above 40°F.
- Agricultural viability is limited due to sandy soil; historically significant for coal and iron ore mining.
- Currently, the economy relies on tourism and forestry; notable site includes Lookout Mountain.
Ridge & Valley
- Situated in northwest Georgia, east of the Appalachian Plateau, this region consists of narrow mountain ridges and valleys.
- Elevation ranges from 700 to 1,600 feet, with a climate similar to the Blue Ridge but receiving slightly less rainfall.
- Rich valley soils support diverse agriculture, including corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and apples; also known for beef cattle ranching.
- Dalton is famously recognized as the "Carpet Capital of the World."
Blue Ridge
- Located in the northeast corner of Georgia; part of the Appalachian Mountains and home to the southern end of the Appalachian Trail.
- Contains Georgia's highest peak, Brasstown Bald, standing at 4,784 feet; features notable natural attractions like Amicalola Falls and Tallulah Gorge.
- Amicalola Falls is the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River, while Tallulah Gorge measures two miles long and 1,000 feet deep.
- Receives the most rainfall in Georgia, contributing to its lush landscapes; average summer temperature is 69°F, winter averages 45°F.
- The region's stunning natural scenery and outdoor activities attract thousands of tourists each year.
General Geographic Regions of Georgia
- Georgia is divided into five distinct regions: Appalachian Plateau, Ridge & Valley, Blue Ridge, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain.
- The first three regions are mountainous, forming part of the Appalachian mountain range; the latter two consist of coastal and agricultural areas, incorporating major cities in the state.
