Maryland has long been referred to as ‘America in miniature’ because it contains almost all types of terrain. From coast to coast, you’ll find diverse natural features all within our 10,460 square miles of land and water. The following list shows just how accurate the title of ‘America in miniature’ really is when it comes to the Old Line State.
1. Powerful rivers flow through Maryland, perfect for white water rafting or simply taking in the gorgeous views.
6. Maryland has its share of Islands. This includes the pictured Assateague Island, as well as islands on the bay such as Smith Island and Eastern Neck Island, among several others.
16. The only natural feature Maryland doesn't have is a desert. But it does have a mighty good dessert; Smith Island cake to be exact. Does that count?
It’s almost baffling how one of the smallest U.S. states can hold so much varied terrain. As this list proves, Maryland proudly earns the title of ‘America in miniature.’
