The physical geography of Maine

Maine’s mountains are in the west and center, where the northern end of the Appalachians crosses the state. Mt. Katahdin, the highest point, stands alone in the north-central part. The north is a forested upland with thousands of lakes, the largest being Moosehead Lake. The coast is rocky and deeply indented, with long peninsulas, bays and many islands, including Mount Desert Island.

Major rivers

  • Penobscot
  • Kennebec
  • Androscoggin
  • St. John
  • Saco
  • St. Croix

  • Lakes scattered across the north and west

Built from real data, not stock images.

Every Maine physical map on this page was rendered from NASA SRTM 30-meter elevation data, with hydrography from Natural Earth and the shoreline-clipped state outline from the US Census Bureau. Each map is colored over that state’s own elevation range, and the relief shading is exaggerated so gentle terrain still shows.
