Massachusetts Physical Map

Massachusetts compresses several New England physical regions into a small state — mountains, river valleys, and a glacier-carved cape.

Rendered from SRTM 30m elevation data + Natural Earth rivers/lakes + US Census state boundary. Four versions below, all free.

The physical geography of Massachusetts

Massachusetts rises from the coast to the Berkshires in the west. The western hills include the Taconic Mountains and Mt. Greylock, the highest point. The Connecticut River valley is a broad lowland running north to south. East of it are the central uplands around Worcester, then a coastal lowland around Boston. Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket are made of sand and gravel left by glaciers.

Major rivers

Built from real data, not stock images.

Every Massachusetts 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.
