Physiographic regions in Alabama Political Regions of Alabama The geography of Alabama describes a state in the Southeastern States in North America.
It extends from high mountains to low valleys and sandy beaches.
Alabama is 30th in size and borders four U.S. states: Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida.
It also borders the Gulf of Mexico.
Extending entirely across the state of Alabama for about 20 miles （32 km） northern boundary, and in the middle stretching 60 miles （97 km） farther north,
is the Cumberland Plateau, or Tennessee Valley region, broken into broad tablelands by the dissection of rivers.
In the northern part of this plateau, west of Jackson county, there are about 1,000 square miles （2,600 km2） of level highlands from 700 to 800 feet （210 to 240 m） above sea level.
South of these highlands, occupying a narrow strip on each side of the Tennessee River, is a country of gentle rolling lowlands varying in elevation from 500 to 800 feet （150 to 240 m）.
To the northeast of these highlands and lowlands is a rugged section with steep mountain-sides, deep narrow coves and valleys, and flat mountain-tops.
Its elevations range from 400 to 1,800 feet （120 to 550 m）.
In the remainder of this region, the southern portion, the most prominent feature is Little Mountain, extending about 80 miles （129 km） from east to west between two valleys,
and rising precipitously on the north side 500 feet （150 m） above them or 1,000 feet （300 m） above the sea.
Adjoining the Cumberland Plateau region on the southeast is the Appalachian Valley （locally known as Coosa Valley） region, which is the southern extremity of the Appalachian Mountains,
and occupies an area within the state of about 8,000 square miles （21,000 km2）.
This is a limestone belt with parallel hard rock ridges left standing by erosion to form mountains.
