New Hampshire physical map for the classroom
Elevation in color with shaded relief, plus the surrounding states and water for context. The labeled version marks the capital, major cities and the highest point. The blank version leaves them off so students can label the map themselves.
New Hampshire relief wall art
New Hampshire on its own, with strong shaded relief and no labels. The dark version has the most contrast. The light version uses far less ink on a home printer.
The physical geography of New Hampshire
The White Mountains cover northern New Hampshire. The Presidential Range, at their center, includes Mt. Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern United States. South of the mountains is the Lakes Region, with Lake Winnipesaukee the largest. The southern third is lower and hilly, with the Merrimack River valley running through it. The Connecticut River forms the western border, and the state has a short Atlantic coast in the southeast.

Built from real data, not stock images.
Every New Hampshire 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.
