This elevation map of California illustrates the number of feet or meters the state rises above sea
	level. The large green area that runs north to south in the center of the state is called
	the "Central Valley" or "Great Valley". 
	 The lowest point in California is located in the
	Mojave Desert, in
	Death Valley, in Inyo County.  At 282 feet
	below sea level, it is the lowest point in the United States. 
	To the east of the Central Valley is the
	Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.
	Mount Whitney
	is located in the Sierra Nevadas, in Inyo and Tulare Counties.
	It sits on the western edge
	of
	Sequoia National Park, about 90 miles southeast of
	Fresno.
	Its peak is the highest point in California and the highest point in the 48 Continental States.
