List of mountain peaks of Nevada


This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Nevada.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
  1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. The [|first table] below ranks the 50 highest major summits of Nevada by elevation.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The [|second table] below ranks the 52 most prominent summits of Nevada.
  3. The topographic isolation of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The [|third table] below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Nevada.
