Massachusetts

Massachusetts features a diverse and varied topography. The western part of the state is dominated by the Berkshire Hills and Taconic Mountains, including Mount Greylock, the highest point at 3,491 feet (1,064 meters). The central region is marked by rolling hills, part of the broader New England Upland, which gradually slopes down to the Connecticut River Valley—a fertile, low-lying area ideal for agriculture. To the east, the terrain flattens as it reaches the Coastal Lowlands, a region characterized by sandy soils, wetlands, and a rugged, indented coastline that stretches along the Atlantic Ocean. This coastal area includes notable features like Cape Cod and the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket​.
