3 ways geographers describe location

- Situation
If I was settling in 1650, I would build my town on location C. For site, location C is the best because it is near an ocean, good farmland, and their are no mountains or sandbars nearby. For situation, location C is the second best because it is near good farmland and you can grow crops which you can sell over the ocean that they have good access too. Without the mountains or sandbars travel is easy from place to place.
If I was settling in 1830, I would build my new settlement on location C. Location C has the best physical features because there is a freshwater swamp nearby and an ocean. Since the population is growing quickly and they need a reliable power source they can use the ocean for hydroelectricity. The settlement would be nearby a freshwater swamp so the people can drink freshwater easily.
If I was settling in 1880, I would build my town on location C. For site, location C is near good farmland, the ocean and it isn't in any mountains. For situation, railroads are becoming very popular and location C is on coal. Coal powers the trains on the railroads and will be very helpful for transportation.
