What We're Showing
Using elevation range, the difference between a state’s highest and lowest points, we ranked all 50 states based on USGS data via the U.S. Census Bureau.
Key Takeaways
- Florida has the smallest elevation range in the country, just 345 feet between its highest and lowest points.
- Several Midwest states—including Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio—rank among the 10 flattest states.
- Despite its long-standing reputation for flatness, Kansas ranks only 20th by elevation range, flatter than many states, but far from the top of the list.
