Shaded relief map of Southern New England. Some of the major land resource areas of New England are visible on this map including; the Northeastern Mountains (reddish-brown colors) in the western part, the Connecticut River Valley (green flat area east of the mountains), the New England and Eastern New York Upland-northern and southern part (yellowish-green to green color east of the Connecticut River Valley, and the Cape Cod Coastal Lowlands in the southeastern part. The highest elevation is Mt. Graylock in MA. at 1063 meters (3397 feet). The lowest elevation is sea level.  The dominant soil orders mapped in the region are Inceptisols, Entisols, Spodosols, and Histosols. Soil temperature regimes are mesic (generally below 1000 feet) and frigid, and the moisture regime is udic (precipitation approx. 40 in/yr.). The soils formed in glacial deposits (till, outwash, and lacustrine/marine) and post-glacial deposits (eolian, alluvial, organic, and human transported material).
