The National Map is part of the USGS National Geospatial Program. [3] The geographic information available includes orthoimagery (aerial photographs), elevation, geographic names, hydrography, boundaries, transportation, structures and land cover. The National Map is accessible via the Web, as products and services, and as downloadable data ...
Enlargeable U.S. map with state and territory high points shown as red dots and low points as green squares except where low point is a shoreline. Enlargeable map of the 50 U.S. states by mean elevation. This list includes the topographic elevations of each of the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. [1]
And looking south from Canada’s arctic islands to Panama’s rain forests, we see the influence of latitude and elevation on natural vegetation. I made this map during the winter of 2020-21 to keep busy during the pandemic.

The term "United States," when used in the geographic sense, refers to the contiguous United States (sometimes referred to as the Lower 48, including the District of Columbia not as a state), Alaska, Hawaii, the five insular territories of Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and minor outlying possessions.

When the key col for a peak is close to the peak itself, prominence is easily computed by hand using a topographic map. However, when the key col is far away, or when one wants to calculate the prominence of many peaks at once, software can apply surface network modeling to a digital elevation model to find exact or approximate key cols.

The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. [3] [4] The first table below ranks the 100 highest major summits of greater North America by elevation. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
