There is a U.S. government produced map at http://rst.gsfc.nasa.gov/Sect6/Sect6_3.html that would be great to include here. (The one with the plateau in purple. I don't have the technical and upload comfort to do it myself.

DISPUTED

There are several local names for the mountains, many of which Easterners will recognize as favorite vacation spots. These include the

the Poconos{{fact}}, the Finger Lakes{{fact}} area, and the Allegheny Mountains
.

The Appalachian plateau is also known as the coal mining area, because it is the only region in

Western New York State
{

  1. I added this: Other parts of the plateau are in
    Western New York State
    ,
  2. Which leaves no room for the Catskills, and Poconos... they should be too far east, as may be the Finger lakes.
  3. I also added geo and geological sub-stubs, as the article can be expanded quite a bit.

I've revised with citations. Some of the cites are to texts nearly a century old, so I'm not certain if the definition has changed since.

Found via more research a current US Geological Service listing of the sub-sections of the plateau. Using it instead. Removing expert tag.

We still need a section on the history of the region.
