How to read this map

The highest point of the Pacific Coast Ranges is Mount Logan, 5,959 m (19,551 ft) above sea level. The range is about 3,800 km (2,360 mi) long. It extends across Canada, the United States and Mexico.

The dashed outline marks the Pacific Coast Ranges as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Irvine, San Diego, Vancouver, Portland and Las Vegas. Labeled states and countries: Washington, Idaho, Montana, 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 Pacific Coast Ranges 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 Pacific Coast Ranges are, not a surveyed boundary.
