MLRA 136 - Southern Piedmont

Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia
161,430 km2 (62,330 mi2)

Land Use:
Most of this area is in small farms, but a sizable acreage is controlled by woodland companies. Land adjacent to major cities is used for residences and associated urban development. Although most of the land was once cultivated, much has reverted to mixed stands of pine and hardwoods. Most of the open land is pasture, but some crops, such as soybeans, small grain, corn, cotton, wheat, and, to a lesser extent, tobacco, are grown. Dairy cattle and poultry are important locally.
