Florida

Southeasternmost State of the U. S. It is mainly a peninsula, separating the Gulf of Mexico from the Atlantic, with a narrow strip running w. along the s. border of Ga. and Ala. Its area is 58,680 sq.m. Though the surface of F. is covered with lakes, it has few rivers. Most of these lakes are fed by springs and have no superficial outlets. The surface is extremely level. The greatest elevation hardly exceeds 200 feet, while its average elevation is le than 100 feet. The geological structure is simple. Around the entire peninsula and extending along the shores elsewhere is a belt of Quarter nary formations. This is succeeded on the Atlantic side by Neocene, while over the rest of the State Eocene formations are found.
