The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. [2] [3] The first table below ranks the 50 highest major summits of Montana by elevation. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
TopoZone was one of the first topographic mapping site on the web, providing visitors with free viewing and printing of the full set of United States Geological Survey topographic maps covering the entire United States. The maps are produced by the USGS, which encourages the distribution of their maps through business partners.

In addition to matching the Topozone URL's, the website offers free download of GeoTIFFs, which Topozone had only offered for a premium. TopoQuest started adding Canadian 1:50K scale topographic maps in July 2008, and USGS 1:100K and 1:250K scale topographic maps in March 2009.
Relief map of Montana. The state's topography is roughly defined by the Continental Divide, which splits much of the state into distinct eastern and western regions. [4] Most of Montana's hundred or more named mountain ranges are in the state's western half, most of which is geologically and geographically part of the northern Rocky Mountains.
For full definitions and explanations of topographic prominence, key col, and parent, see topographic prominence. In particular, the different definitions of the parent of a peak are addressed at length in that article. Height on the other hand simply means elevation of the summit above sea level.
Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2,100 feet (640 meters) above Buffalo Horn Creek in one mile (1.6 km). Petrified wood can be found on the peak as the mountain is set within the Gallatin Petrified Forest which is one of the largest petrified forests of the Eocene Epoch. [ 4 ]
Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 1,800 feet (549 meters) above headwaters of North Fork Specimen Creek in one mile (1.6 km). The approach to the remote summit is made from the Sky Rim Trail and Gallatin Skyline Trail. [ 4 ]
