Green is the color used to represent lowest elevation. In New Hampshire, the lowest elevation is along the small Atlantic Coast, though much of the southeast part of the state is also at relatively low elevation. The Merrimack River valley in south central New Hampshire is also at low elevation.
All of New Hampshire's largest towns and cities are in this lower elevation portion of the state: Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Derry, Rochester, and others.
As land gains elevation, colors change to yellow, orange, and red. This mid-level elevation exists throughout the entire state at the base of New Hampshire mountains. Most of the Connecticut river on New Hampshire's west border and the large lakes in central New Hampshire are located in this mid-elevation region.
High elevation is shown with colors blue and purple, and white is used for the top of New Hampshire peaks. Most of New Hampshire's central and northern portions include the high elevation of the White Mountains. New Hampshire's highest peak is Mount Washington (1917 meters or 6288 ft), which is located in north central New Hampshire.
