The Western Maine Foothills ecoregion is hillier, has higher relief and elevations, more northern hardwoods and less oak/white pine, and fewer lakes than does Ecoregion 58r to the south. It has lower elevations and less relief than Ecoregion 58p to the northwest. The western boundary of the region with Ecoregion 58p is generally about 1000 feet, a transitional zone from temperate forest species to more boreal species. Many of the peaks are near or above 2000 feet. Woody species richness is less in this region compared to ecoregions to the east or south. Soils are typically coarse-loamy, frigid Spodosols. Woodland and forest land uses, along with recreation and tourism, are important in the region, and there is little cropland and pasture compared to Ecoregion 82e to the east.
