List of U.S. states and territories by 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]

The elevation of a geographic area may be stated in several ways. These include:

1. The maximum elevation of the area (high point);^[a]
2. The minimum elevation of the area (low point);^[b]
3. The arithmetic mean elevation of the area (statistical mean elevation);^[c]
4. The median elevation of the area (statistical 50% elevation);^[d] and
5. The elevation range of the area.^[e]

All topographic elevations are adjusted to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). All geographic coordinates are adjusted to the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS 84). The mean elevation for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are accurate to the nearest 100 feet (30 m). Mean elevation data is not available for the other U.S. territories.
