The physical geography of New Jersey

New Jersey has four land regions in bands from northwest to southeast. The Ridge and Valley region in the far northwest includes Kittatinny Mountain and High Point, the state’s highest spot. Next come the Highlands, a belt of rugged hills and lakes. The Piedmont is a lowland with a few sharp ridges such as the Palisades along the Hudson. The southern three-fifths of the state is flat Coastal Plain, with the sandy Pine Barrens and a coast lined with barrier islands.

Major rivers

  • Hudson
  • Raritan

Built from real data, not stock images.

Every New Jersey 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.
