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, ... sea level: NA 57 280 ft
In other words, every point on the marked line of 100 m elevation is 100 m above mean sea level. These maps usually show not only the contours, but also any significant streams or other bodies of water, forest cover, built-up areas or individual buildings (depending on scale), and other features and points of interest such as what direction ...

This is a list of countries and territories by their average elevation above sea level based on the data published by Central Intelligence Agency, [1] unless another source is cited. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1.
The highest village on Tutuila island (and American Samoa) is the village of A'oloau [3] — A'oloau is at an elevation of 1,340 feet (410 meters), [2] and had a population of 615 as of 2010. [4] The highest peak in American Samoa is Lata Mountain at an elevation of 3,163 feet (964 meters). [5]
Topographic maps display elevation above ground and are complementary to bathymetric charts. Bathymetric charts showcase depth using a series of lines and points at equal intervals, called depth contours or isobaths (a type of contour line). A closed shape with increasingly smaller shapes inside of it can indicate an ocean trench or a seamount ...
In cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. [3] A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes. [4] The contour interval of ...
Elevation or altitude is generally expressed as "metres above mean sea level" in the metric system, or "feet above mean sea level" in United States customary and imperial units. Common abbreviations in English are: AMSL – above mean sea level [3] ASL – above sea level [4] FAMSL – feet above mean sea level [5] FASL – feet above sea level [6]
