How to read this map
The highest point of the Coast Mountains is Mount Waddington, 4,019 m (13,186 ft) above sea level. The range is about 1,600 km (994 mi) long.
The dashed outline marks the Coast Mountains as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Seattle, Vancouver, Tacoma, Everett, Victoria, Kelowna, Bellingham and Kamloops. Labeled states and countries: British Columbia and Yukon.
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 Coast Mountains 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 Coast Mountains are, not a surveyed boundary.
