I combined two separate photos—one from Nova Scotia and one from Utah—so they appear to be a single seamless scene. The top portion of one image is blended with the other, and most viewers would not realize they come from different locations. What is the correct photography or editing term for this kind of image?

A "composite picture" is probably what you are looking for.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
The most accurate term is compositing, and the finished result is a composite image. That means combining elements from two or more separate photos into one final picture.
If the blend is made to look continuous or seamless, people may also loosely describe it as image merging. Stitching is sometimes used too, but that term more specifically refers to joining overlapping images—such as for a panorama—rather than combining unrelated scenes from different locations.
So in your case, compositing or composite image is the best term.
