In broad terms, Connecticut is bisected by the Connecticut River, which has a broad tidal estuary. The river's broad valley is fertile farmland, used notably for apples, corn, and shade tobacco. The northwest and northeastern corners of the state are hilly and forested. The eastern portion is known in modern times as part of the Last Green Valley between Washington DC and Boston. This sparsely populated, unpolluted swath of forests, rivers and lakes covers most of eastern Connecticut and parts of south-central Massachusetts. The southern (Long Island Sound) shoreline is marked by salt marshes and beaches.
