to Delaware
Delaware is the second smallest state in the United
States. Delaware is bounded to the north by Pennsylvania, to the east by the
Delaware River and the Atlantic Ocean and to the west and south by Maryland.
Small portions of Delaware are also situated on the far, or eastern, side of
the Delaware River Estuary, and these small parcels share land boundaries with
New Jersey.
Delaware lies on a level plain, the highest elevation being
less than 450 feet (137 m) above sea level. The northern part is associated
with the Appalachian Piedmont and is hilly with a rolling surface. South of
Newark and Wilmington, the state follows the Atlantic Coastal Plain with flat,
sandy, and, in some parts, swampy ground. A ridge about 75 to 80 feet in
altitude extends along the western boundary of the state and is the drainage
divide between the two major watersheds of the Delaware River in the east and
of several streams falling into Chesapeake Bay in the west. |
