The width, north and south, is roughly 75 miles and the length, east and west, 150 miles.The strata represented extend from the Cambrian to the Carboniferous; for the most part, they are excessively folded and much affected by igneous activity. The peninsula is a structural arc with the convexity northward. At the east end the general strike is a little south of east and at the west end a little south of west. The land rises abruptly from sealevel and has an average altitude of about 2,000 feet. The Shickshock Mountains, with a maximum elevation of 4,350 feet in Tabletop Mountain, form an elevated belt near the north shore; a similar belt of less maximum altitude borders the south shore.
