The Northeast
The Middle Atlantic region together with New England is referred to as the Northeast. The Northeast also encompasses the Megalopolis, the heavily populated corridor along the Atlantic coast between Washington, DC and Boston. The nation's largest city, New York, is situated at the coastal center of the region, with the national capital of Washington, DC at the region's southern end.
Topographically, these Northeastern states are natural woodlands. The interior of the region is
characterized by the northern stretch of the Appalachian mountains, which run roughly
parallel to the Atlantic coast. Despite urbanization, industrialization, and the existence of vast
transportation systems, the Northeast offers extensive areas of great natural beauty, both along
its coastline and in its interior.
