Delaware Geography

Delaware Geography, Delaware Facts

About half of Alabama

The state of Delaware consists of two major land regions: The Piedmont and the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The Piedmont, an area of gently rolling hills found in the northwest corner of the state, is 10 miles wide at its widest point. The highest point in Delaware, just 450 feet above sea level, is found in the Piedmont. The Atlantic Coastal Plain stretches across the rest of the state. It is a low, flat region that rises only about 80 feet above sea level. A 30,000-acre swamp lies along southern boundary of the state. A long sand bar -- 28 miles long -- forms a border with the Atlantic Ocean. This sandy strip to the east is a popular vacation region.

Delaware is our second smallest state. It is only 96 miles long and ranges from 9 to 35 miles in width.
