"Georgia’s smallest physiographic province is the Appalachian Plateaus, more commonly called the Plateau. A plateau is an area of flat or gently sloping land with a high relief over neighboring valleys and low-lying areas. Stretching from New York to Ala- bama are a series of plateaus along the western edge of the Ap- palachian Highlands. The southernmost of these--the Cumber- land Plateau--includes about 300 square miles of the northwest corner of Georgia. Here you will find two flat-top features--Sand Mountain and the famous Lookout Mountain--separated by a deep and narrow valley. Off Lookout Mountain to the east is the thumblike Pigeon Mountain."
