New Hampshire : Geographical locations
New Hampshire includes a number of regions like the coastal lowland in the southeast, the New England Uplands, covering most of the south and west; and the White Mountains to the north. Mt. Washington, at 6,288 ft (1,918 m), is the highest peak in the northeastern US. The terrain of New Hampshire is generally hilly, rocky, and in many areas densely wooded.
There are about 1,300 lakes and ponds, of which the largest is Lake Winnipesaukee, covering 70 sq mi (181 sq km). The main rivers are the Connecticut, Merrimack, Salmon Falls, Piscataqua, Saco, and Androscoggin. Near the coast are the nine rocky Isles of Shoals, three of which belong to New Hampshire.
