DescriptioneditMaryland possesses a variety of topography within its borders, contributing to its nickname America in Miniature. It ranges from sandy dunes dotted with seagrass in the east, to low marshlands teeming with wildlife and large bald cypress near the Chesapeake Bay, to gently rolling hills of oak forests in the Piedmont Region, and pine groves in the Maryland mountains to the west. Maryland is bounded on its north by Pennsylvania, on its west by West Virginia, on its east by Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean, and on its south, across the Potomac River, by West Virginia and Virginia. The mid portion of this border is interrupted by Washington, D. C., which sits on land that was originally part of Montgomery and Prince Georges counties and including the town of Georgetown, Maryland.

Most of the states waterways are part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, with the exceptions of a tiny portion of extreme western Garrett County drained by the Youghiogheny River as part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, the eastern half of Worcester County which drains into Marylands Atlantic coastal bays, and a small portion of the states northeast corner which drains into the Delaware River watershed. So prominent is the Chesapeake in Marylands geography and economic life that there has been periodic agitation to change the states official nickname to the Bay State, a nickname that has been used by Massachusetts for decades.

The Appalachian Mountains of western Maryland are home to Appalachian Blue Ridge forests. These give way to Appalachian mixed mesophytic forests near the West Virginia border. Many foreign species are cultivated in the state, some as ornamentals, others as novelty species. Included among these are the crape myrtle, Italian cypress, southern magnolia, live oak in the warmer parts of the state,2.
