Geography is important because it is a major factor in why people choose to live where they do, how battles are fought, and in how much the people come into contact with others outside their area. Most of the early settlements were on level, high ground near a river. Farming would be successful because the silt left behind would create fertile soil. Roads leading to the area would bring trade of items that were not made locally and make it possible to sell locally made items. One place like this would be St. Louis, which was located at the staging place for people to head west--obtain supplies, wagons and oxen. One could travel from there by boat or road and the distance to the west coast could be traveled before the Rocky Mountain winters came. For battles, look at Gettysburg during the Civil War, the defense of Rome from Hannibal and others.
people generally settle in areas with greater resources i.e. wood for lumber to build houses, rivers, food.
also, when building roadways and other means of transportation, people must take into account the geography of a region [ie mountains, rivers, etc] when it comes to the planning of such projects. such was the case with the transcontinental railroad.
Social studies is the study of history and the people who made that history. Geography is the study of land, maps, and landforms. Understand that geography affects history, but it is also a separate study and science.

No. Geography is the study of the earth.
The study of the world's physical features is called geography. Geography also incorporates the affects of the atmosphere on the earth.
The study of people and where they live is called demography. Demography involves analyzing the characteristics of human populations such as size, distribution, density, and vital statistics. Researchers in this field also examine factors that impact population dynamics, such as migration, fertility rates, and mortality rates.
