"Georgia’s second-largest physiographic province is the Piedmont, a French word for “foot of the mountains.” This hilly region makes up about 30 percent of the state and lies between the mountain regions of north Georgia and the Coastal Plain. Along its southern boundary, the Piedmont sits about 500 feet above sea level, but elevations range up to 1,700 feet at the southern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The region consists mainly of rolling hills with many valleys. In some areas, however, the hills are quite tall and almost appear to be mountains."
