• Source: List of the most prominent summits of the United States

The following sortable table comprises the 200 most topographically prominent mountain peaks of the United States of America.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:

The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.
The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.
Denali is one of only three summits on Earth with more than 6,000 meters (20,000 feet) of topographic prominence. Three summits of the United States possess a prominence greater than 4,000 meters (13,000 feet), six exceed 3,500 meters (11,500 feet), ten exceed 3,000 meters (9,800 feet), 19 exceed 2,500 meters (8,200 feet), 45 exceed 2,000 meters (6,600 feet), 128 ultra-prominent summits exceed 1,500 meters (4,900 feet), and 264 major summits exceed 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) of topographic prominence.
