The piedmont is separated from the coastal plain by the fall line and from the Blue Ridge by the BRE. One distinction between the piedmont and the coastal plain is that they have fundamentally different soil parent materials (Markewich et al., 1990). The piedmont is also unique in its groundwater storage and erosion patterns.
Davidson College and Charlotte are in the Piedmont, as you can see in the map.
