Green represents the lowest portions of Alabama, such as the major river valleys in southwest Alabama: Alabama River, Tombigbee River, and where the two combine to form the Mobile River that flows into the Mobile Bay. The cities of Mobile and Tuscaloosa and parts of the Montgomery area all fall in this low-elevation green area.
Yellow and orange areas are mid elevation, such as most of central Alabama and southeastern Alabama. Several major cities lie in this mid-elevation range: Birmingham (Alabama's most populous city), Montgomery (Alabama's capital), and Huntsville.
Blues, purples, and white represent the highest parts of the state in northeast Alabama: the Appalachian Mountains and Cumberland Plateau.
