How to read this map

The highest point of the Cascade Range is Mount Rainier, 4,389 m (14,400 ft) above sea level. The range is about 1,100 km (684 mi) long. It extends across the United States and Canada.

The dashed outline marks the Cascade Range as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, San Jose, Sacramento, Calgary and Edmonton. Labeled states and countries: Washington, Idaho, California, Oregon and Nevada.

Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.

The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Cascade Range come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Cascade Range is, not a surveyed boundary.
