The lowland of the Connecticut Valley is bounded on eitherside by a great upland or highland region. Steep hillsides or evenmountain sides of the highlands nearly everywhere face the lowlandof the valley. The picture of the relief map model (figure i) givesa good idea of these topographic relations. As viewed from thevalley floor, but still better from the top of Mount Tom, each uplandpresents a remarkably even sky-line with no peaks rising notablyabove the general level. The eflfect is to make each upland looklike a long high nearly level ridge. From some good outlook point,like Chesterfield, in the midst of the western highland the observer 8 The Geological History of the.
