The following sortable table lists the 200 most topographically isolated major mountain peaks of Greater North America. Each of these summits has at least 100 km of topographic isolation and at least 500 m of topographic prominence.

This article defines Greater North America as the continental landmass of the Americas extending north from the Isthmus of Panama plus the islands surrounding North America. This article defines the Islands of North America to include the coastal islands of North America, the islands of the Caribbean Sea, The Bahamas, the Bermuda Islands, Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) and its surrounding islands, the islands of Northern Canada, the islands of Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, and the islands of the northeastern Pacific Ocean.

This article defines a major mountain peak as a summit with at least 500 m of topographic prominence. An ultra prominent peak is a summit with at least 1500 m of topographic prominence. Topographic prominence is the elevation difference between the summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit.

The 25th meridian of longitude west from Washington is a line of longitude approximately 102.05 degrees west of the Prime Meridian of Greenwich. In the United States of America, the meridian 25 degrees west of the Washington Meridian defines the eastern boundary of the State of Colorado, the western boundary of the State of Kansas, and the western boundary of the State of Nebraska south of the 41st parallel north.

History
On 1861-01-29, the Act Admitting the State of Kansas to the Union defined the western boundary of the new state as the 25th meridian of longitude west from Washington. This rendered the western portion of the Territory of Kansas unorganized. Thirty days later on 1861-02-28, the Act Organizing the Territory of Colorado defined the eastern boundary of the new territory as the 25th meridian of longitude west from Washington. The creation of the Colorado Territory moved the western boundary of the Territory of Nebraska south of the 41st parallel north east to this meridian. These boundaries on the 25th meridian of longitude west from Washington remained when Nebraska became a state on 1867-03-01, and Colorado became a state on 1876-08-01.

Longitude in the United States
Latitude and longitude uniquely describe the location of any point on Earth. Latitude may be simply calculated from astronomical or solar observation, either at land or sea, interrupted only by cloudy skies. Longitude, on the other hand, requires both astronomical or solar observation and some form of time reference to a longitude reference point. Thomas Harrison produced the first precise marine chronometer in 1761.

The completion of the first North American telegraph line between Washington and Baltimore on 1844-05-24, introduced a technology that could transmit time signals at the speed of light. On 1850-09-28, the United States adopted two primary meridians of longitude for officially use: the Greenwich Meridian (through the old Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England) for all nautical and international use, and the Washington Meridian (through the old United States Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.) for more accurate astronomical and domestic use. The completion of the first telegraph line across North America on 1861-10-24, allowed time signals from the Naval Observatory in Washington to be transmitted across the continent.

The United States used the Washington Meridian as the longitude reference for most states and territories created between 1861 and 1868. The completion of the first permanent transatlantic telegraph cable on 1866-07-28, allowed the Naval Observatory at Washington to be synchronized with the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. The need for a separate national meridian for the United States gradually faded, and in 1884, U.S. President Chester A. Arthur called the International Meridian Conference in Washington which selected the meridian of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich as the international Prime Meridian. On 1912-08-12, the United States adopted the Prime Meridian of Greenwich for all uses domestic and international.
