We also talked about the transition from the Piedmont region to the Coastal Plain region that occurs in this area. From the top of the temple mound we could physically see the change from hills to flat plains. This made the area of macon and other fall line cities such as Augusta a prime location for early civilizations. One major reason for this is the water access. The rivers in this area connect to the coast and were the fartherst point north that laarge ships could navigate inland. Any farther north than this and the rivers became too small for a lot of boats. This made these areas major areas of trade and commerce which aided in the development of civilizations.
