United States - Vivid Maps

Map of the most imposing landform in the United States.

The impressiveness of mountains and other landforms is inherently subjective. Regardless, two factors that universally contribute to the perceived impressiveness of a landform are its height and steepness. Height is a significant factor in defining impressiveness, but it’s not the only factor. For example, even though Mt. Elbert in Colorado (elevation: 4,399 meters or 14,432 ft) has a higher elevation than Grand Teton in Wyoming (elevation: 4199 meters or 13,776 ft), mountaineers can attest to Grand Teton looking considerably more impressive, as it rises much more steeply over the local landscape.
