What kind of place must one pass through on the way between East West Egg and New York City?

About half way between West Egg and New York the motor road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile. This is a valley of ashes--a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. Occasionally a line of gray cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak, and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-gray men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud, which screens their obscure operations from your sight

To travel from East Egg to New York City, one must pass through the "Valley of Ashes," a desolate industrial area characterized by poverty and decay. This symbolic valley serves as a contrast between the wealthy residents of the Eggs and the working class individuals in the city.
