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 high point of an area is the point of maximum topographic elevation. The high point may, or may not, be a summit.
3. Rank among United States counties and county-equivalents ^[1] by high point elevation. ^{[lower-alpha 2]}
4. Topographic elevations are adjusted to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). ^[6]
5. 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.
6. The "mean of extremes" elevation is the arithmetic mean of the highest and lowest elevations.
7. The elevation range is the arithmetic difference between the highest and lowest elevations.
8. Geodetic coordinates are adjusted to the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS 84). ^[7]
9. The Denali Borough, Alaska has the greatest elevation range ^{[lower-alpha 7]} of any U.S. county or county-equivalent ^{[lower-alpha 1]} at 19,925 feet (6,073 m).
10. The summit of Denali is the highest point in the United States and all of North America with an elevation of 20,310 feet (6,190.5 m).
