As is the case with the Sierra Madre Occidental , the Sierra Madre Oriental comes progressively closer to the coastline as it approaches its southern terminus , reaching to within 75 kilometres ( 47 mi ) of the Gulf of Mexico . The northeast coastal plain extends from the eastern slope of the Sierra Madre Oriental to the Gulf of Mexico . The median elevation of the Sierra Madre Oriental is 2,200 metres ( 7,200 ft ) , with some peaks at 3,000 metres ( 9,800 ft ) . </P>
