Geography
Atlantic Coastal Plain:
Florida has the lowest elevation of any state. One low lying region is the Atlantic Coastal Plain. It includes part of the Okefenokee Swamp, the Everglades, and the Florida Keys, as well as the state's two largest cities-Jacksonville and Miami. Florida is second only to Alaska in the length of its coastline.
East Gulf Coastal Plain:
Most of Florida's Gulf Coast and the land surrounding it are part of the state's East Gulf Coastal Plain. Swamps and marshes border the coast. Much of the swampland along the coast has been drained to make room for development and farmland.
Florida Uplands:
The Florida Uplands extend from the northern half of the panhandle to the center part of the state. The land in this region is higher than the rest of the state. Many of Florida's citrus groves are in this region.
