No one from the coastal area of new england would put connecticut, boston, and downeast maine in the same region. Those three areas are very distinct yet on this map are contiguous.
But someone from outside the region would call them the same. That person would need to move there for a while before they can tell the difference. Meanwhile they can tell culture differences between that area and Texas without effort.
Boston and downeast maine are culturally distinct. You wouldn’t confuse them if you’re from away. Unless you can confuse sprawling metropolis for rural coastline…
And southern Vermont does not feel at all maritime.
Culturally Connecticut is about 45% NYC, 45% Boston, and 10% philly.
