Rankings by average elevation

How we measure
  • Average: every USGS 3DEP bare-earth cell of land inside the Census reservation boundary (TIGER/Line AIANNH, Jan 1 2026), weighted equally, on a 1 arc-second (≈100 ft, 30 m) grid. Land means the boundary minus Census area water.
  • Highest and lowest: the highest land cell. Lowest: the lowest land cell; coastal ground within 3 ft (1 m) of named tidal water counts as sea level.
  • Pits: the lowest point is the lowest ground outside closed hollows (quarry floors, mine pits, terrain-model artifacts): any hollow under 0.4 sq mi (1 km²), and any hollow under 2 sq mi (5 km²) whose floor is more than 100 ft (30 m) below its rim; and outside patches below sea level of under 0.4 sq mi (1 km²). The single lowest 3DEP cell, 2,260 ft at 32.8410° N, 116.7104° W, is in such a hollow or patch and is not counted.
  • Name: the Census Bureau's legal or statistical area name, as published; the nation's own name may differ.
  • Population: 2020 Census residents of the blocks inside the boundary.
  • Nearby Places: nearest tribal lands and rankings use each one's average elevation, on its own grid, the same figure its page shows. Peaks and hills: the highest summits inside the reservation with at least 980 ft (300 m) of prominence, then the highest federal (GNIS) summits inside it when there are fewer than 5; each is the 3DEP top on a ~7 ft (2 m) window, or the NGS published height when a usable survey mark sits within 160 ft (50 m) of it (shown as published).
  • Rounding: computed heights are rounded to 10 ft (5 m), or to 1 ft (1 m) under 100 ft; 3DEP is good to about a meter, not a foot. Published figures (NGS survey heights) are shown as their publisher gives them.
  • Datum: North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). NGS plans to replace NAVD 88 with a new datum (NAPGD2022); heights will then shift slightly.
