The Northeast region is the smallest in area of the four Census Bureau-defined regions of the US. The region's landscape varies from the rocky coast of New England to the fertile farmland of the Ohio River Valley behind the Allegheny Front in Ohio. Beginning at West Quoddy Head Peninsula in Maine, the easternmost point in the United States, the Atlantic coastline is largely rocky, with jagged cliffs rising up to a hundred feet above the ocean. South of the Isles of Shoals near the Maine/New Hampshire state line, the coastline begins to subside to sandy beaches which extend through the rest of the Northeast's Atlantic coastline.
Four major rivers pierce the coastline to empty into the Atlantic: the Delaware River at the New Jersey/Delaware state line, the Hudson at the New York/New Jersey state line, the Connecticut River in Connecticut (which technically empties into the Long Island Sound which then empties into the Atlantic), and the Kennebec River in Maine. A fifth river, the Susquehanna River, is the longest river on the east coast of the United States and flows through New York and Pennsylvania but reaches tidewater in the South Atlantic region of the country. Two of the Great Lakes, Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, form part of the northern border of the region.
