Further to the west, lies the Eastern New England Upland area of Massachusetts. This area spreads westward from the Coastal Lowlands forty to sixty miles, rising to about 1,000 feet above sea level and, then, gradually sloping downward in the west to meet the Connecticut Valley Lowland. The Eastern New England Upland actually extends from Maine to New Jersey and is considered an extension of the White Mountains. |

Mountains made of rock that stand alone and are not part of a range of mountains are known as monadnocks. There are several such solitary mountains in the Eastern New England Upland. |
