Sarah Toton, Carolina Piedmont map, 2006. Along the southern shoulder of the Piedmont Plateau that stretches from New York State into Alabama, the Carolina Piedmont runs some 250 miles from Danville, Virginia, to the far edge of South Carolina. Seventy-five to a hundred miles wide, this region of smooth-rolling hills and rocky-bottomed rivers expands from the Appalachians toward the geological fall line cities of Raleigh, Fayetteville, Columbia, and Augusta. Beyond, lies the Atlantic Coastal Plain.
