Geography of New England
Each section of the colonies is grouped by similarities in geographical features. The New England colonies are situated farthest north compared to the rest of the British colonies, causing the climate to be more extreme: the winters are cold, while the summers are hot. Although such temperatures are not the most favorable, the different scenery during each season is very beautiful and will cause you to forget about the cold or heat. In the summer, beautiful green hills, low mountains, and low coastal plains flow together to create a picturesque scene seen all throughout New England, and in the winter, white blankets the land, creating the perfect image of solemn beauty. The river, however, does not freeze over, so there is no lack of water at all.
The Connecticut River flows from New Hampshire, through Massachusetts and Connecticut, then discharges in the sea. Despite this large body of water running through the land, the soil is thin and rocky, making it hard to farm. However, since the region is right on the shore, there is an abundance of fish and other sea life, which may also be used for farming as fertilizer.
