These are beautiful I cannot help but nitpick the mountains in California. Those mountains bordering NV and CA are majestic, and their tallest peaks are not at the delta near Sacramento, but south of there, closer to Visalia and Fresno. The Blueridge and Appalchian mountains appear majestic in these maps, but these do not really compare in height (e.g. tallest peak 4,000 ft compared to 14,505 in Sierra Nevada), although they do have a greater length.

- bscottmay 8y agoI cannot help but nitpick either. You're off by over 50% on your eastern mountains: Mount Mitchell, NC: 6684 feet [1] Mount Washington, NH: 6288 feet [2] These eastern Mountains are indeed majestic, towering overhead when you look to ascend them. Mt Washington would stand in perfectly for Caradhras.

- SubiculumCode 8y agogood catch, but add those two peaks together and they are still shorter than Mount Whitney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Whitney https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Whitney https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Nevada_(U.S.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Nevada_(U.S.)
