The following sortable table comprises the 230 mountain peaks of greater North America with at least of topographic isolation and at least of topographic prominence.
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 of topographic isolation. Four major summits of greater North America exceed , eight exceed , 35 exceed , 107 exceed , the following 230 major summits exceed , and 413 exceed of topographic isolation.
