Piedmont Region
The Georgia Piedmont Region lies between the Blue Ridge Mt. and the Upper Coastal Plain. The Piedmont Region Is about 1,400 Kilometers long. The Georgia Piedmont is part of a larger area called the southern Piedmont. On the surface where coastal plain and Piedmont are exposed, rivers may have waterfalls or rapids. Piedmont is made up of mostly low hills and narrow valleys. The main trees in the Piedmont Region are Oak, Hickory, and Yellow Poplars (which make up 20% of the forest trees). Later European settlers established homesteads in the lower part of the Piedmont Region, where the soil was a little richer, and small subsistence farmers settled into the northern part of Piedmont where the soil was poor.
