Maryland

Maryland's topography is notably diverse, characterized by distinct geographic regions that showcase a variety of landscapes. The state can be divided into three major landforms: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Appalachian region, which includes the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains. The Coastal Plain, which extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the fall line, is generally flat and low-lying, gradually rising to around 400 feet in elevation, featuring many estuaries and indented shorelines along the Chesapeake Bay​. Moving inland, the Piedmont region is marked by rolling hills and fertile valleys, which historically supported extensive forests but are increasingly urbanized. The Appalachian Mountains dominate the western part of Maryland, with Backbone Mountain reaching an elevation of 3,360 feet, making it the highest point in the state​. This mountainous area features rugged terrain and rich biodiversity, while the valleys in between are often used for agriculture​. Overall, Maryland's varied topography not only contributes to its scenic beauty but also plays a significant role in its ecology and land use.
