    It seems like the kind of thing you’d learn as a kid.

      Remarkable.

        There's a large difference between 0 and 999 ft. as any Floridian can tell you.

        Interesting.

          The map doesn't go below sea level.

            Hawaii Island (a county) is listed as 13,000- 13,999 ft. This is radically incomplete and essentially worthless to the viewer.

              I fixed my OP. I had copied/pasted their original heading, which said it represented highest/lowest. OTOH, according to the legend, the map actually just shows the highest elevation in each county (though they say country, which of course makes one wonder how accurate the map is to begin with!) If it really is highest....I can't think of any place where the highest elevation is below sea level.

                  Because it starts at about 0- 10 ft.

                    I see. They needed an edit.

                      I'm guessing people hike from Badwater to Whitney peak just because? I'd like to do that.
