The H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane Survey (HGPS), sensitive to very-high-energy gamma rays from ~0.2 to ~50 TeV, is now complete and shows supernova remnants to be one of the dominant TeV source populations in the Galaxy. The HGPS is the culmination of a decade-long, 2800-hour observation program that provides the first comprehensive view of the TeV Galaxy with high angular resolution (~5 arcmin) and sensitivity (~1-2% Crab Nebula flux). In some composite SNRs, we are able to distentangle TeV emission originating in interior pulsar wind nebulae from that of the SNR shells. We also can resolve SNR shells themselves, and not only the most well-known high-energy SNRs, but some unexpected discoveries as well. We recently searched for new TeV shell morphologies in the HGPS dataset, revealing: HESS J1534-571, coincident with the cataloged SNR candidate G323.7-1.0; HESS J1912+101, intruigingly with no
obvious MWL counterpart; and HESS J1614-518, with a possible GeV gamma-ray counterpart. The TeV properties of these and other shells can reveal the non-thermal particle acceleration processes at work in SNRs and shed light on the important questions concerning cosmic-ray acceleration up to PeV energies and young remnants in the Galaxy that are possibly missing from current surveys. A public release of the HGPS survey maps, as well as a standardized catalog of Galactic TeV sources and study of multi-wavelength associations (notably SNRcat), is in preparation and will also be presented.
