Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Upper Road or "Piedmont Road" splits off from the King's Highway at Fredericksburg, Virginia. It was roughly parallel to, but farther inland than the coastal King's Highway and more inland Fall Line Road until it rejoined that later road at Macon, Georgia. The Upper Road was especially popular among the Scots-Irish (or Ulster Irish) colonists who settled the backcountry mountains. In Virginia there is no modern equivalent road because reservoirs now cover the old trail. Interstate 85 is roughly the same as the Upper Road in the Carolinas.[1] The length of the Upper Road from Fredericksburg, Virginia to Macon, Georgia was approximately 585 miles (940 km). |
