Maine Elevation Overview
Maine’s terrain divides between the rugged western mountains – including Mount Katahdin at 5,267 ft, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail – and the rocky, island-studded Downeast coast. The interior is defined by boreal forests and hundreds of glacially-carved lakes. The state is the largest in New England.

Use the Samples slider to control data resolution. To explore contour lines, switch to the Contour Generator tab, drag to draw a bounding box over your area of interest, set your interval and units, and click Generate Contours. Download results in GeoJSON, KML, GPX, or CSV format for use in other mapping tools.
