I would suggest using the USDA PLANTS database (http://plants.usda.gov/) and do a generic search of northeastern Orchidaceae. I just did a quick search and found 125 genera for the U.S. I created the following list of genera in the northeast, which I believe is complete. Hopefully someone else from our group can add/correct if I am wrong. Anyway, go down the 125 genera and click on the genera I have identified (I included 1 non-native, just to be complete!). You will see a 'related taxa' section about mid-way down the page that shows range maps. If you figure out the answer to your question, please share your results!
Aplectrum Arethusa Calopogon Calypso Cleistes Corallorhiza Cypripedium Epipactis (non-native) Goodyera Habenaria Isotria Liparis Listera Malaxis Orchis Pogonia Polygala Spiranthes Best of luck!
