Maine Geography and Famous Natives

Posted on May 12, 2022May 12, 2022 by top-mba-universities

Geography of Maine

Maine is divided into three distinct regions; Atlantic Ocean Coastal Lowlands, Central Highlands and Appalachian mountain ranges in the northwestern reaches of the state. The scattered Longfellow Mountains, the state’s main range, are considered an extension of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. They were named by the Maine legislature (in 1959) for Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, poet and natural son. Mt. Katahdin, located within the boundaries of Baxter National Park, is the state’s highest point at 5,267 feet.

North central, deep water lakes, remnants of the last Ice Age, cover the land. They mingle with seemingly endless pine forests as Maine is 90% forested and remains one of the world’s leading paper producers.
