The Piedmont, or 5Piedmont Plateau, which occupies about 30 percent of Georgia, is a rolling upland region. It lies between the lowlands of the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains and the truly mountainous land of the Appalachians farther north. Rolling hills are characteristic of the Piedmont, and many of them rise high above the surrounding countryside. One of the most prominent is Stone Mountain, a steep-sided, whale-back-shaped mountain near Atlanta. Stone Mountain, 514 m (1,686 ft) above sea level, is a great mass of exposed granite. The gently rolling areas of the Piedmont are generally cultivated, but the more hilly sections are usually covered by forests, mainly of pine.
