Cities of Massachusetts
Massachusetts sits in the northeast of the United States, in the New England region, right on the Atlantic coast. Its capital is Boston, which is also by far the largest city in the state. Other places you will meet on this map include Worcester, Springfield, Cambridge, Lowell and the coastal city of New Bedford.
It is a compact state with plenty of water and a few hills. The Connecticut River and the Charles River run through it, and in the west rises Mount Greylock, the highest point. Because the cities sit so close together they are easy to mix up — which is exactly what makes it fun to learn to place them one by one.
