CONNECTICUT
NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS
From the Great Valley the Housatonic River suddenly abandons the valley area to cut through the Housatonic Highlands. Then the river reaches a limestone area. It follows the Housatonic River Valley limestone area that is caught between the Housatonic Highlands (bordered with Taconic Mountain material on the south) on the northwest and the New England Upland on the southeast.
