The Appalachian Ridge and Valley Region, also in northwestern Georgia, has several broad, fertile valleys separated by long, parallel ridges of sandstone rocks. Today, the rich soils produce fruits, grains, and vegetables.

The Blue Ridge rises in the northeastern part of the state. Hardwoods and pine trees cover the slopes of these mountains.

The Piedmont has gently rolling hills. Such large cities as Atlanta and Athens help make the region the most heavily populated section of Georgia. Three other large cities, Augusta, Columbus, and Macon, lie at the southern boundary of the Piedmont.

The Atlantic Coastal Plain spreads across more than a fourth of the state in the southeast. This flatland has a light, sandy loam soil that is good for growing onions, peanuts, sweet potatoes, tobacco, and watermelons. The Okefenokee Swamp lies in the southern part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain and extends into the East Gulf Coastal Plain.
