Geography, Connecticut Facts
About half of Alabama
Connecticut is the third smallest state.
Only Rhode Island and Delaware have less area. A low, flat region known as the
Coastal Lowlands is found along the state’s southern shore with the Atlantic
Ocean. It is between 6 and 16 miles wide. Several important harbors are found
along the coast. They include New London, New Haven, and Greenwich. The
mountainous Taconic section is located in the northwest corner of the state.
Connecticut’s highest point, Mt. Frissell, is located here. An area of hills,
ridges and rivers known as the Western New England Upland is found in the
western part of the state. This region slopes gradually from a height of 1400
feet above sea level in the northwest to just 1000 feet above sea level in the
southeast. The Connecticut Valley Lowland is a 20-mile wide area in the center
of the state. Small rivers separated by 300-600 foot basalt ridges are found in
this lowland region. Narrow river valleys and low hills make up the Eastern New
England Upland region. It is a heavily forested area in the eastern part of the
state. The state’s lowest point is found where Connecticut meets the Long Island
Sound to the south.
