Question

Why does Interstate 95 seem to follow the fall line?

Answer 1

Answer:

It connects cities that were established on the fall line.

Explanation:

While it is true that the land below the fall line is flatter than the rougher Piedmont terrain to the north, this is not the main reason I-95 was built seemingly parallel to the line.

The presence of a string of urban areas along the fall such as Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Raleigh, and Macon, is due to the navigability of the rivers which is possible between the fall line and the coast, but not beyond.
