Maine: shape, counties and terrain

Maine spans about 201 miles from east to west and 310 miles from north to south, with 30,845 square miles of land. Its outline is irregular: the state fills only 53% of the box drawn around it on the map. The Census boundary file draws it as 212 separate land areas, only one of them larger than 100 square miles.

Maine has 16 counties. The largest by land area is Aroostook County (6,671 sq mi) and the smallest is Sagadahoc County (254 sq mi). The capital, Augusta, sits at 123 ft downtown (USGS).

Elevation runs from sea level along the Atlantic Ocean to 5,268 ft (1,606 m) at Mount Katahdin in Piscataquis County, a range of 5,268 ft. The sampled average is about 744 ft.

On the relief map's elevation grid, 4% of the state lies below 0 ft, 94% between 0 and 2,000 ft and 2% between 2,000 and 4,000 ft and under 1% above 4,000 ft. Split from south to north into thirds, the southern third averages 111 ft, the central third 731 ft and the northern third 987 ft, so the land is highest in the northern third and lowest in the southern third.

How teachers and students can use these maps

  • Blank map: label Augusta, the capital, and the largest cities, then check them against the cities map. Older students can draw in rivers or mountain ranges from an atlas.
  • County map: find your own county among the 16. The labeled version works as an answer key; the blank one as a quiz.
  • Cities map: Augusta to Caribou is about 196 miles in a straight line. Measure it with the scale bar and see how close you get.
  • Elevation map: find Mount Katahdin (5,268 ft) and the coast, at sea level, and work out the difference: 5,268 ft. Then use the legend to estimate the elevation of your town and check it with our elevation tool.
  • Printing: each map has a US Letter PDF and an A4 PDF. The PDFs are vector files, so lines and labels stay sharp at any size. The outline maps use very little ink in black and white.
