Gulf Coastal Plain
The
Gulf Coastal Plain
extends from the
Florida Parishes
of
Louisiana
over most of
Mississippi
, some of western
Tennessee
and
Kentucky
, the southwestern 2/3 of
Alabama
, and the western
panhandle
of
Florida
. Its southern boundary is the
Gulf of Mexico
and its western boundary the drop into the
Mississippi embayment
. On the north it extends to the highlands of the Interior Low Plateaus and southern
Appalachians
. To the east, there is an arbitrary break with the
South Atlantic Coastal Plain
at the Alabama-
Georgia
border south through Florida along the
Apalachicola River
. The flat to rolling topography is broken by numerous streams and river bottoms. Uplands are dominated by
pine
, originally longleaf and slash in the south and shortleaf mixed with
hardwoods
in the north. These are
fire
-maintained systems that give way to loblolly pine and hardwoods in damper areas and bottomland hardwood forest in extensive lowland drainages.
