United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Willoughby, Lynn, 1951-2003-07-18Encyclopedia article about the Chattahoochee River. The Chattahoochee River rises high in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia and flows southwesterly toward the Alabama state line. From there the river tumbles for twenty miles over the fall line--the region of transition between the foothills of the Piedmont and the lower and flatter Coastal Plain. Below the fall line in Columbus, the river slows to ramble south toward Florida, where it is known as the Apalachicola.GSE identifier: SS8G1, SS2G1text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Chattahoochee RiverRivers--GeorgiaChattahoochee RiverText
