List of highest points in Arizona by county facts for kids
This is a list of highest points in the U.S. state of Arizona, in alphabetical order by county. Elevations are from USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic quadrangle maps. Elevations followed by a plus sign (+) are minimal values. The contour interval is shown after the (+).
Robert Walko listed the Arizona county high points and then hiked them in 1977. At that time there were only 14 counties in the state, as La Paz county was not split from Yuma county until 1983.
