How to read this map
The Gulf of Maine covers about 93,000 km² (35,900 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 200 m (656 ft). Countries with a coast on the Gulf of Maine: the United States and Canada.
The blue outline marks the Gulf of Maine as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Boston, Hartford, New Haven, Lowell, Springfield, Salem, Worcester and Manchester. Labeled states and countries: Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Nova Scotia.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Gulf of Maine come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Gulf of Maine is, not a surveyed boundary.
