Geography Of New England (1951)

The film explores New England, a region in the northeastern United States comprising six states: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. It discusses the rugged terrain shaped by glaciers during the Ice Age, which left behind rocky soil and fertile river valleys. The region is known for its dairy farming, particularly hay production, and other agricultural products like tobacco, cranberries, and potatoes. New England’s economy also relies on fishing and shipping, with cities like Boston serving as major industrial and trade centers. The film highlights the diverse industries, including textiles and machinery, and the immigrant workforce that contributes to the region’s development.
