Our Regions The United States is separated into regions. A region is an area with common features that set it apart from other areas. There are five Regions in the United States and they are the west, middle west, northeast, southwest, and southeast. New Jersey is also separated into 4 regions and they are the Atlantic Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Highlands, and Ridge and Valley
