List of the most isolated major summits of the United States



The following sortable table comprises the 209 most topographically isolated mountain peaks of the United States of America (including its territories) with at least 500 m of topographic prominence.

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.
 * 2) The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
 * 3) The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.

In the United States, only Denali exceeds 4000 km of topographic isolation. 3 summits exceed 2000 km, 8 exceed 1000 km, 13 exceed 500 km, 47 exceed 200 km, 113 exceed 100 km, and 214 major summits exceed 50 km of topographic isolation.
