Periphery

“Bypassed East”
• Newfoundland & Labrador, northern New England, Adirondack region of New York– A transportation
shadow • Slow economic growth• Settled early, but became
increasingly isolated• Relatively few large urban
areas

Physical Geography
• Topography– Northern extension of the Appalachian
Mountains– Green Mountains (Vermont)
• Range to 4,600 ft • Ice covered during the Pleistocene
– White Mountains (New Hampshire) • Extend to 6,500 ft• Upper slopes rugged and steep

Physical Geography
• Climate – Maritime impact minimized by
continental and polar air masses (Dfb & Dfc)
– Labrador Current flows southward chilling coastal waters
– Generally, the climate is seldom hot, often cool, and usually damp

Early Settlers• Early 1600s - initial settlers relied upon three means to
support their livelihood– Fishing: cod and haddock– Timbering, especially focusing on white pine– Agriculture, mainly subsistence

Agriculture
• Present Trends
– < 10% of New England is farmland
– Agricultural peaked during the late 1800s; farms decreased by 66%
– Today’s farming is specialized, single crop production

• Major Areas and Products– Aroostook Valley (NE Maine)
• Silty loam soils
• Newest commercial agricultural area
• Suffers from competition with Idaho and Oregon

Economic Mainstays
• Forestry– Limited role: lack reforestation– Northern Maine: pulpwood– Forestry products– Northern New Brunswick and
Newfoundland: pulp and paper
![Page 12: Bypassed Atlantic Periphery. “Bypassed East” Newfoundland & Labrador, northern New England, Adirondack region of New York –A transportation shadow Slow.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082206/56649da95503460f94a96784/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Economic Mainstays
• Fishing– Inshore more important
– Nova Scotia: leads all provinces in total catch each year
– Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and PEI are 3rd, 4th , and 5th
– Maine lobster industry vitally important to New England• 70% of the region’s total catch

Economic Mainstays
• Mining– Natural gas and oil; limited coal in Nova
Scotia – Plentiful building stone
• Tourism - a mixed blessing?
– Summer and Spring: hiking, fishing, camping, canoeing, and sightseeing
– Fall: foliage– Winter: skiing and winter sports

Discussion Questions
The now-bypassed periphery used to be the “front door” to Europe. Can (or should) the Periphery return to that past glory?
Since the region is basically at the doorstep of Megalopolis, might it turn into a place where Megalopolis residents take away the Bypassed Atlantic Periphery’s sense of place?
