The highest peak in each state, district or territory is noted in bold. For state high points that are not mountains, see List of U.S. states and territories by elevation . Significant mountain peaks and high points
The parent is the peak whose territory peak A resides in. The encirclement parent is found by tracing the contour below peak A's key col and picking the highest mountain in that region. This is easier to determine than the prominence parent; however, it tends to give non-intuitive results for peaks with very low cols such as Jabal Shams which ...
As mapped in the early 1960's by Mullens, [5] Charles Mound is an outlier and erosional remnant of Silurian Edgewood Dolomite overlying strata of the Ordovician Maquoketa Formation. The Maquoketa Formation consists of dark-gray clayey siltstone and silty dolomite that occurs in beds that are 2 in (5.1 cm) to 5 ft (1.5 m) thick. Within the ...
