Land Cover of the South Atlantic States - Fine Art Print Map
South Atlantic regional landcover displays a sequence of more or less
parallel bands: in the mid-Piedmont, a belt of mixed farmland and
forest, now heavily urbanized; then, below the intermediate Pine Belt, a
similar mixed zone in the upper Coastal Plain, with cities arrayed
along the Fall Line. The Low Country of the coastal plains has a higher
percentage of forest cover, and, finally, the Sea Islands, a unique
coastal wetland province. Urbanization has transformed the Florida
Peninsula, spreading across former farmlands and wetland margins and
dominating most of that coastline.
This map covers all of the Florida Peninsula, extending west to the Apalachicola River. In the Atlantic we include the Bahamas south and east as far as Great Exuma Island. The Atlantic Coast is hown north up to the Virginia state line and includes all of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and most of Florida (the western Panhandle is NOT included), eastern Tennessee, and the eastern edge of Alabama.
