New Jersey

New Jersey's topography is characterized by a diverse landscape that ranges from coastal plains to rolling hills and rugged mountains. The state features a predominantly low elevation along its eastern coastline, where major cities like Newark and Jersey City are located. This coastal lowland, which includes the Delaware River in the southwest, contrasts sharply with the northern region, known as the Skylands. Here, the terrain is more elevated and hilly, featuring part of the Appalachian Mountain range, particularly the Kittatinny Mountains, which includes New Jersey's highest point at 1,803 feet (550 meters)​. The central part of the state is marked by the Pine Barrens, a unique ecosystem with its subtle hills and extensive forests​. Overall, New Jersey's varied topography supports a wide range of ecosystems and contributes to its rich natural beauty.
