According to citypopulationreview, New Jersey is located in the Northeastern and Middle Atlantic regions of the United States. It is bordered by New York to the north and northeast, Pennsylvania to the west, and Delaware to the south and southeast. The Atlantic Ocean is east of New Jersey, providing 130 miles of coastline. The state has three major geographic regions: the Coastal Plain, Piedmont Plateau, and Highlands. The Coastal Plain begins at sea level along the Atlantic Ocean and extends northwestward to Pennsylvania. This region consists of low rolling hills and contains many wetlands, marshes, estuaries, bays, rivers, canals, creeks, ponds, lakes and streams. The Piedmont Plateau region lies in the northwestern section of New Jersey. This region includes rolling hills and valleys with an elevation ranging from 200-400 feet above sea level. Finally, the Highlands region is located in northern part of New Jersey where elevations range from 500-1500 feet above sea level. This region contains many steep valleys with rocky outcroppings as well as numerous rivers including Passaic River which flows through Paterson – a city that was once known for its industrial past but now enjoys a booming arts scene.
