Physical Geography

edit

I would propose expanding one of the lede paragraphs, the one starting with physical geography, to include the USGS physiographic classifications of New England as a province within the larger Appalachian Highlands physiographic division. The digitized version of the physiographic map of the USGS makes it much easier to map the regions of the country. New England is one of seven provinces of the Appalachian Highlands, which together with Canada's Appalachian Uplands makes up the multi-country Appalachian Mountains.

In the geography section of the article, the USGS physiographical map of New England can be included, which includes five "sections." the New England Uplands, New England Seaboard Lowland, Green Mountain, White Mountain, and Taconic. Deanrah (talk) 13:40, 19 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Largest cities

edit

Manchester New Hampshire is not the 2nd largest when Stamford CT has a population over 130k.

Providence RI has a 180k....there's some serious errors in the first couple paragraphs 216.49.141.151 (talk) 16:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

The second-largest city in New England is Worcester, which is what the opening paragraph says. What errors are you referring to? AJD (talk) 17:11, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Looks like the commenter got confused by the sequence of phrases. I put in semi-colons to make it clearer. Ken Gallager (talk) 12:37, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
