Notes

1. Forty-eight U.S. states have counties, Louisiana has parishes, and Alaska has boroughs and census areas in the Unorganized Borough. The entire District of Columbia is considered a county-equivalent, as are the 38 independent cities of Virginia, and the independent cities of Baltimore, Maryland, St. Louis, Missouri, and Carson City, Nevada. ^[1]
2. The "mean of extremes" elevation is the arithmetic mean of the highest and lowest elevations.
3. Rank among United States counties and county-equivalents by mean elevation. ^[1]
4. The high point of an area is the point of maximum topographic elevation. The high point may, or may not, be a summit.
5. Topographic elevations are adjusted to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. ^[6]
6. The low point of an area is the point of minimum topographic elevation. The low point is often a gulch, stream, river, reservoir, lake, ocean, or endorheic basin.
7. The elevation range is the arithmetic difference between the highest and lowest elevations.
8. Geodetic coordinates are adjusted to the World Geodetic System 1984. ^[7]
