Hedmark maks up the northeastren pairt o Østlandet, the sootheastren pairt o the kintra. It includes a lang pairt o the borderline wi the Swadish coonties o Dalarna an Värmland. The lairgest lakes are Femunden an Mjøsa. It includes pairts o Glomma an aw. Geographically, Hedmark is in the traditional sense dividit in the follaein auries: Hedemarken, east o Mjøsa, Østerdalen, north of Elverum, an Glåmdalen, south of Elverum. Hedmark an Oppland are the anerlie Norse coonties wi nae coastline. Hedmark hostit some o the 1994 Winter Olympic Gemmes an aw.
Hamar, Kongsvinger, Elverum an Tynset are ceeties in the coonty. Hedmark is ane o the less urbanizit auries in Norawa; aboot hauf o the inhabitants live on rural land. The population is mainly concentratit in the rich agricultural destrict adjoinin Mjøsa tae the sootheast. The coonty's extensive forests supply hintle o Norawa's timber; logs wur previously floatit doun Glomma tae the coast but are nou transportit bi truck an train.
