South Carolina
South Carolina's topography is defined by three major geographic regions: the Atlantic Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Covering approximately two-thirds of the state, the Atlantic Coastal Plain is characterized by flat, gently rolling terrain that transitions from the sandy beaches along the Atlantic Ocean to swamps and estuaries further inland. The coastal areas are interspersed with barrier islands and unique features like Carolina bays—elliptical depressions formed by various geological processes. Moving inland, the Piedmont region features rolling hills and elevated plateaus, with elevations generally ranging from 400 to 1,200 feet (122 to 366 meters), and includes the distinctive fall line where the rivers descend to the lower coastal plain. The northwest corner of the state rises into the Blue Ridge Mountains, with Sassafras Mountain as the highest point at 3,560 feet (1,085 meters). This area is known for its rugged terrain, steep slopes, and rich biodiversity. Overall, South Carolina's diverse topography reflects a rich geological history influenced by ancient mountains, river systems, and coastal dynamics.
