Oregon Physical Map
Oregon has 7 active volcanoes in the Cascades — the physical map shows them as nearly evenly-spaced peaks running north-south.
Rendered from SRTM 30m elevation data + Natural Earth rivers/lakes + US Census state boundary. Four versions below, all free.

Two maps, two versions of each.
The same Oregon terrain as a classroom map and as wall art. All four are free PDFs.
Oregon 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.
Oregon relief wall art
Oregon 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 Oregon
The Cascade Range divides Oregon into a wet west and a dry east. West of the Cascades are the Coast Range and, between the two, the Willamette Valley, where most Oregonians live. The Cascades are a line of volcanoes that includes Mt. Hood, the highest point, and Crater Lake. The Klamath Mountains fill the southwest. East of the Cascades are high desert, lava plains and the Blue Mountains of the northeast. The Columbia River forms most of the northern border, and the Snake River cuts Hells Canyon along the east.

Built from real data, not stock images.
Every Oregon 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.
