Title
Fall Line Analytics - Demographics, Analysis, Targeting, GIS
Description
A Fall Line is a geographic boundary between softer coastal plain or alluvial sediments and harder bedrock. The most famous Fall Line is the boundary between the eastern coastal plain and the piedmont of Appalachia, running from New Jersey to Georgia. When rivers cross the Fall Line, meandering coastal plain rivers form rapids and waterfalls as they become more constrained in the hills. These waterfalls were used for power, and became the nucleus for cites such as Trenton, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Richmond.
